This song is probably more scripturally accurate than many praise songs around today, and has a really bitchin’ bass line to boot.

Amen! Go elsewhere if you don’t like the music!
Here’s one that I first heard in church and was gobsmacked at how challenging it was!

All of the rest of the music is very traditional. It’s just the “special music” — one two-minute segment of a service — that sucks.
Also, sad to say, but in here in the buckle of the Bible Belt, most fundamental / evangelical churches have gone very modern. It’s the last thing we expected when we moved here. So you are ignorant of the situation if you’re telling me to “find one that does more traditional music”.
“... songs selected by modern praise bands in church...”
That right there is the problem, i.e., the phrase, “praise bands in church”. An organ and piano are enough.
Skinny jeans
Shirttail out
Hipster beard/haircut
Expensive designer watch and multiple bead/metal bracelets
Tattoos and piercings optional
“There’s almost no time to have a quiet moment in Church anymore!”
Really, the proper etiquette for church is — or used to be clearly written in etiquette books — as soon as you enter the sanctuary/auditorium, you take your seat and be prayerfully quiet. That’s how we grew up.
Now, people are fluttering around, chit-chatting, laughing, coffee-klatching, and being overall disrespectful about where they are, and why. (People drinking coffee in church ... arrrgh!) There’s plenty of time before and after the service outdoors, in vestibules, etc., for socializing.
So good it bears repeating. Thanks for posting. You just can't harp on it enough. I'll file this under
Jesus Christ’s Resurrection Is Probably The Best-Documented Historical Event Ever
And that's no joke!
I thought it was sorely needed.
“Say What You Want To Say” - John Mayer. I want to poke out my eardrums with a screwdriver when I hear that song. He repeats the lyrics in the song title over, and over, and over, and over . . .
For me listening to Christian Music is the game of trying to figure out which old Pop song’s music and lyrics have been rewritten. Almost every song uses recognizable music and almost as many seem to mimic the vocals as in the original pop songs.
An impossible task in the Bible Belt of TN. They are all like this.
Despite my previous remarks about today’s CCM, I frankly state that I never did have a problem with Keith Green’s music. We also liked Ralph Carmichael’s offerings in the early 70’s. A friend and I opened a “ONE WAY!” Coffe House in our town and hundreds of youths came there, hung out there and many got Saved there. I still have a Keith Green vinyl LP album packed away somewhere.
Concur. I loathe what the libs did to the Battle Hymn of The Republic.
1. They renamed it to “Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory”
2. “As He died to make men Holy let us die to make men free!” was changed to “As He died to make men Holy let us live to make men free!” which is nonsensical and it ignores the sacrifices of the Civil War.
(sigh)
Yes, yes, I am so obviously the problem. If my heart was “right,” then I’d just love the CRAP MUSIC.
Even though the CRAP MUSIC is literally unsingable for me and many others, which tends to confound the very participation you demand.
Maybe the CRAP MUSIC is the problem, not the weekly victims of it.
“Jesus is my boyfriend. He wants to be yours too!” Now repeat 11 times, maybe with a chorus of “Oh Oh Oh It’s so good!”
I’d like to find a church where they skip the singing. It ain’t “worship”! Although the one I’m a member of is at least doesn’t do the “Jesus is my boyfriend” thing. Still, it is time I wouldn’t miss spending watching people perform.

“Get your heart right, and the music will flow from your heart to join with the worship songs, and then all the songs will seem too short!”
Nope. Sometimes stupid IS STUPID. If I join it, I’m just dumber.
Ahh. 7/11 music.
