TEST TUBES IN SPACE!
Tune: "Earth and All Stars" (LW 438, LSB 817)

Test tubes in space!
Loud clashing symbols!
Sing like we're stuck in the Sixties once more!
Turtle-necked profs!
Loud boiling classrooms!
Sing like we're stuck in the Sixties once more!
This is such mar-gi-nal stuff.
Why are we singing such an odd song?

All of the traditional hymns which have had their lyrics modified to be politically correct.

SHAME, CHURCHES, SHAME
Tune: "Shine, Jesus, Shine"

Shame, churches, shame,
For this brand of "creative worship."
Lame, music, lame--
That's what you admire.
Spine, churches, spine--
Blending in isn't so "courageous."
Check out your roots,
Church, and sing some real hymns.

I’ve always cringed when I hear the “Lord’s Prayer” set to music. It’s a beautiful prayer to recite, but the tune it’s sung to is awful.

I dislike most praise music. Repetative and melodiously boring, most of it.

JMO.

Which Hymn Do you Wish was Banned From Church?

Almost everything published since 1970 that's in the Celebration Hymanl. Get rid of the "worship sequences" too.

Depends on what you consider a hymn. I know a lot of “Gospel music” that’s truly terrible from a musical perspective, however well-intentioned. Some of it is beautiful however.

I’ll just repeat something a Freeper (name not recalled) said in so
many words on a previous “church music” thread:

“Any church song composed after 1965 is crap.”

Not exactly my opinion...but not far wide of the mark.

(no flames please...I do know that “there is no disputing of opinions”,
we all have our personal likes and dislikes)

I know it is not a hymn. but this is a Christmas song.

‘Deck the Halls’ talks about ‘Don we now our gay apparel’,and since men who sleep with men have changed the word gay from talking about being happy to talking about living their life stile. We need to somehow change it so no one, like children, will not get the wrong idea of our beliefs.

wow. I think any song that helps people to praise and glorify God is a fine song.

“Softly and Tenderly.” If it sounds like a lullaby it has to go.
