SUCH an overstatement! How about Chris Tomlin’s “Amazing Grace” chorus:

My chains are gone
I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior
Has ransomed me
and like a flood
His mercy reigns
Unending love
Amazing grace

That’s just one example. And the traditional hymnody is being revoiced for contemporary worship (not the melodies, the instrumentation) to rave reviews.

I definitely over-generalized. There are indeed some, even many, modern songs that are very theologically sound and powerful.

But you must admit that “me-centric” is indeed a trend in modern worship.
