Shallow praise choruses getting you down?

Do shallow praise choruses bug you? Hate their mindless repetition of phrases? Do you doubt these songs lead us into the presence of God more than the solid songs of your past? Perhaps you're part of the growing crowd of folk simply fed up with their shallowness. One fellow recently complained, "At best these choruses are frivolous and mindless; but at worst they breed heresy and border on sacrilege." Do you agree with him? If so, you're probably one of those folk who get frustrated every time you attend church. You see the lack of theological content or the missing Christ-centeredness of so many current choruses. And you grumble at the mantra-like repetition. In fact, I bet you even mutter things to yourself while the rest of the congregation is standing, singing, and clapping.

If you are frustrated with the shallow praise choruses you'll want to join my new organization. I'm organizing a movement to get back to the solid songs of the 1950's. We are planning to campaign for a return to solid theological songs we used to have. Want to join?

For instance we'll band together to persuade today's music directors to reintroduce those deeper songs we used to sing. They could start with "Give me oil in my lamp; keep me burning, burning, burning." Now there's a real worship song. If we could just get back to songs like that
