Not just speak “about” Him in a “worship” song. We need to find songs that glorify God and sing “to Him” … not just “about Him.” My opinion is we’re there to worship the King of Kings and tell Him how much we love him. I came to this site looking for current fast paced songs as well as all the others. Heading down that road too often leads to Legalism…. The same could be said for Lakewood in Houston, or Gateway, or Lifechurch in the UK….Ya gotta spit out the bones and take the meat my brother. As far as Jesus Culture, I would tend to agree that their theology is a bit interesting BUT musically and lyrically there is nothing in their songs that I have noticed (yes I do word and theological studies of all the songs we sing in our church before we sing them.) that is heretical or against the Gospel. I would say that both/and are important…. This is part of worship….proclaiming the greatness of God to each other….reminding ourselves of His love and victory over death and the grave. These ARE vertical songs of worship because they give honor and glory to the King of Kings even though we are not directly singing them TO God…we are singing ABOUT Him and what He has done and continues to do in our lives. Hark how the Heavenly anthem drowns all music but it’s own….” Etc etc etc…. I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see”….or “Crown Him With Many Crowns”- Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon His throne. “Amazing Grace”- Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. Take this excerpt from probably the most famous hymn ever sung…. JM…While I hear what you are saying, by that logic, we should never sing most popular hymns then that have stood the test of history in our churches…. Starts slow, but by the end it’s full-fledged rock. And ignore my mistake on the bass feature in the third verse, lol.)
(Keep an ear out for the ‘Sweet Child ‘O Mine’ lick knock-off. The drum solo around the 8 minute mark just rockets it to another level, I think.īe Thou My Vision is probably my favorite hymn.
We changed some of the song structure and added a lot to the back end of the song:
Shane & Shane’s Lord of Hosts (Psalm 46) is a true epic, lyrically and musically. I should really update it with our current repertoire, but as it sits, here are just two of the faster songs we like to do on occasion: I’ve uploaded just a few of our songs to Youtube as unlisted videos a couple years back. That’s kind of a tall order for modern Christian praise and worship music. Our worship leader highly values doctrine-rich lyrics, as well as interesting instrumentation. Especially ones that aren’t the depth of a puddle. We always seem to struggle finding new fast praise songs. I might send it out to our church band group text. After listening to all of them, I like ‘Never get over it’ from Michael Neale the best.
