just fyi, the form of music doesn't get me too fired up...so long as the lyrics aren't "me" centered and doctrinally erroneous. Scripture says we can lift holy hands and all that, so I don't get very bent out of shape about how the music sounds. Me, I would love all the music to be Bach. But that's probably a minority opinion.....electric keyboards, drums, etc. I don't really mind. It's all about the content.

Two Sundays ago, we did a combined service with the main choir, the youth choir, all the children's choirs, the handbell crew, a five-piece brass, a tympani, and the full praise band. There was Bach and Beethoven, Micheal W Smith and Matt Redman. The finale was a version of "Agnus Dei" with EVERYONE, and I swear I got a glimpse of what it will be like singing with the heavenly host.

It was almost like Handel, whist writing "Messiah", when he was reduced to tears and said, "I did think I did see all Heaven before me and the great God himself" .

But you are right, it is all about the content. Strangely enough, not many in our praise and worship service raise hands (we ARE Methodists, you know...) ;)
