[Red Sky at Morning]

Amazing words!

 

[Red Sky at Morning]

I haven't posted to this thread for a while - I was thinking how much I disliked hymns as a child! I remember sitting in church one day wondering why they didn't play "Giantkiller", circa 1980 (don't laugh) at my local Anglican Church...

It is only years later that I have learned to appreciate the words and ideas locked away in some of the old, traditional hymns.

I came across these yesterday and after my ear adjusted, I noticed what they were saying...

My local church, in contrast seems to have "gone Hillsong" and many of the "worship" songs are very simple indeed... but perhaps I'm just getting old!!!

I am actually coming to loathe Hillsong. Their words are so wishy washy, all the types and symbols are mixed up, and the ones we have at our church are very 'me' centred. Tiring.

How true!

I'm going for 'cheese' in a major way, but, I don't care . . . love Cat Steven's "Morning Has Broken"

Swing your pants for the Lord, (you transgender ladies!)

 

[Red Sky at Morning]

Still one of my favourite songs from my childhood!

The one about the alter put me in mind of a real oldie by Elvis!!!

Hope you are doing better now Chass.

Not quite a “worship song” but perhaps our greatest need, both to give, and to receive...

 

[Dalit]

Shane and Shane are a new/old favorite.

Bryan Duncan - When I Turn to You

For those interested, this song was on an older album, "My Utmost for His Highest" (his music though) - very relaxing.

I have that album. It's the only album of Bryan Duncan's that I ever liked. It's beautiful!

For the scaredy cat in me.

Beautiful!!
