[P-Marlowe]

The mention of any sin in a contemporary worship song is out of the question.

All worship music was contemporary worship music when it was written. Are those who write worship music today less worthy in the eyes of God to write such music than those who wrote contemporary Christian music 100 years ago?

Is it somehow a sin to compose worship music in the 21st Century?

30 years ago, when I was in my 20's, I was not fond of the old hymns. They were too old and stuffy for me.

Today I crave the old hymns. Not because they have changed, but because I have changed. I love the "meat" in the old songs. There is a depth there, that I don't find much in todays lyrics.

When you read the lyrics of songs written 100 years ago, or read the works of Spurgeon or Whitefield or Edwards, you realize that people back then were much, MUCH deeper thinkers, than we are today.

Today, it seems, many of our songs have a verse or 2 that is repeated ad nauseam. Seemingly the more repeated, the more deeper or more emotional.

And heaven forbid they go to a different country with a different culture and dress.
