Aw jeeze louise, "Lord of the Dance"! GAG!!!!! Shudder!!! They made us sing that travesty at a "youth Sunday" at my old Baptist church in 1971 when I was almost 16. They made us sing it again on a "youth trip" to Brasstown, NC a short time later (the locals tried to be polite since we were visitors, but the looks on their faces.......I think they were praying the lighting would not hit us poor misguided youth). That was when my old Baptist church, like so many in that era, was trying to make itself "relevant to today's youth." GAG! That same year the real Baptist minister retired and they hired some liberal carpetbagger from Rochester, NY....it was all downhill from there. Three years later when I was in college I ended my membership in that church. By then, it went from godly Baptist to typical mainline liberal Protestant, and even in my then-agnostic days, I regarded it with disdain, as I wanted something substantial, not cotton-candy.
