Worship music
Why does the music that accompanies our songs in church have to be so radically different than music we hear on the radio? I know some people think rock music is from the Devil but that convo is a waste of my time so I'm not going there. Could it be because we don't wanna tick people off so we write songs that are churchy to appease them? Or maybe everyone writing the songs has too much church history and not enough "real life expeience" cause I'm thinking I can only sing about broken chains or grace like rain for so long. What I'm wanting to see is songs that are written from a different angle. Songs that make us think using a different part of our brain. You know how some preachers make us think in a different way? That's what I'm talking about. We're possibly to comfortable with our one line bridges and choruses that get repeated to death. Bring on the change!
well hombre. one think you overlooked was why we sing songs in church. as far as i can tell, we worship god, and then the pastor preaches and we "learn" about god.
Those songs you were referring to, that we should have... we do have. its just not in the "praise and worship" section. The reason we dont sing those at church, are because they arent all singing praise to god. they are telling stories. sharing encounters. songs that are from ppl to ppl. church service music has the conotation that it is praise music. from ppl to god.
find a way to make a song from ppl to god, comes back and makes ppl think. i know that can be done, i've heard it. its a praise song that isnt "happy go lucky" but the problem is finding a church that will accept that. oh wait. i think, i might know one......you might know it too.
