Shut That Song Off!

January 22nd, 2006 · 1 Comment · Ersatz Evangelicalism

At BHT, Matthew Johnson posted these words to a "worship song" sung at their church this morning.  This almost makes me want to become one of those "exlusive psalm" folks.  Seriously…I’d sing something like that to my wife, if only the lyrics weren’t so cheesy, trite, and cliche.  How does this possibly count as a "worship" song?  Which pastor or worship leader in his right mind is letting this junk be sung to Almighty God as part of "worship"? 

There.  My rant is now over.

Gaines has a series of links on Worship Leaders and Theology that probably addresses these issues well, though I haven’t had a chance to read the articles yet.
