Subject: Are new worship songs scripturally OK? |
Bible Note: Hi, Hank; Thanks for the reply; I was afraid I'd been a little prickly in my post. As a mediocre bass, I've sung Handel's "Messiah" in a local symphony chorus (no solos for me!) and I've sung "O Sifune Mungu", a setting of "All Creatures of Our God and King" written in Swahili, in our church choir. I've been blessed by both of those pieces and by many songs in many styles in between. And I've sung a few I just didn't like very much that I nonetheless think Jesus must have enjoyed hearing. The key is this: Our choir director (he also directed "Messiah") never lets us forget to whom we are singing - an audience of one. Peace and grace, Steve |
