Music trends will change as cultures and generations change. They always have.

But I wouldn't expect a return to just hymns.

Agree.

There are some good writers out there. i anxiously wait for the day when people realise that music is used to communicate, and musical styles are integral to communicating the message that the lyrics attempt to tell.

Lack of the Holy Spirit the critics tell me? i contend that the Holy Spirit is no more or less attached to modern hymns than He was to 19^th Revivalist Hymns, or Gregorian Chants, or Handel's Messiah. God operates as He will, and the musician is obligated to do all things as unto the Lord.

Of course not, we're going back to Gregorian Chant! ;)
