Well.. but they didn't tell the word of God or the word of Jesus. Jesus said so many things and these things has been translated, manipulated even inverted as centuries has passed. Compare Catholic Church to Jesus...
Now, take a look at songwriters, what they say remains the same over the years.
You probably are guessing were I'm going...
"The Beatles were more popular than Jesus", "not best or greater, just more popular" John Lennon.
Obviosly Lennon and McCartney were less "pure" than Jesus but their message is now exactly the same as the original one and it's been spread all over the world.
Jesus said some things and that did not reach the world...until someone change them around..., etc.
So writing a song it would be a great option. "Some sugar helps the medicine go down" "in a more delightful way"...
Lennon couldn't believe the song Imagine was "tolerated" or not censored. He goes against the usual religions, the capitalism and armies (almost every form of power) . But that was done... with music... If the music is good you don't even need lyrics...
Well, Imagine was written by John being in The Beatles, but they didn't release the song... It was a very "bold" song, not Paul style... so John kept it for the future to himself.
"You may say that I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us and the world will be as one".
