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!!!
