If it worked for Martin Luther, it works for me.

A number of our classic old hymns that we hold so holy were actually bar songs of the day, and I seem to remember reading that Luther said, “Why should the bars have all the good music?” Took the music and put scripture truths in them, and we have and love them today.

Or was that Charles Wesley? I’m getting old.....someone will correct me I’m sure.....

Christian musician since 1968......

It was Luther, you were right. That was my first thought too.
