There’s a time and a place for everything. My church actually just purchased new hymn books. Song 1 is In Christ Alone. I’ve been traveling a lot and haven’t been to church much since they got them a month or so ago. My wife tells me that it’s a good mix of old and new.
They also have a small band lead singing with many songs broadcast on the screen. Some are good, some very good, some I don’t like. The band plays to be sung along with, leading music, not entertaining us. They don’t deviate with their favorite guitar riffs.
I’m also a long time unrepentant rock and roll aficionado, Chistian and secular. I’ve attended Rock concerts with fellow church members. I like 70’s-90’s Christian rock. Today’s Hillsong crap is just that for the most part.
Try Neal Morse if you like prog gone Cristian.
