The Power of Words in Music

I love contemporary rock-like music.
It's what I listen to and what I enjoy!

When someone introduced me to hymns at first I rejected it as being old and boring. After all, some of these songs were written hundreds of years ago, by old people, right?
The funny thing is, once I heard the words behind the music I realized that the message was powerful and it could change lives. Now, I still don't listen to many hymns on a regular basis, but I started attending a monthly singspiration done by the churches in my community and it's very rewarding.
You don't have to agree with me, but I want to encourage you to consider listening to a few old hymns to hear the message. I think you will agree that the message is clear and speaks to the heart. Maybe you feel like sharing your thoughts on this post. Please do!

Hymns are great but, since most people don't know their melodies, it may best for the worship team to sing the first verse alone (announcing this is the way a song will be sung before starting may make it easier to sing them this way) and then have everyone sing along.
