Creeds and songs

Further to my post on creeds, the difficulty I find with creeds persists with worship music, where the vast majority of popular choices (hymns or contemporary) contain lyrics reflecting a single, particular approach to God I cannot affirm.

Maybe it is just me? I know others can "let go" and recite creeds and sing songs whose content they don't agree with because the "why" (being together, connecting with our past, feeling the rhythm) is sufficient for them. But, for me, this feels like leaving my brain at the door. Is it impossible to worship with both "head" and "heart" at the same time?
