I can't stand CCM's Aussie invasion of the mid to late 1990's. They made so much of the CCM you could buy on CD (now online) heavily repeated "worship" music. And don't get me started on Christian radio.

But I still love, love, love me some Russ Taff, Petra, D&K, Mylon and Broken Heart, David and the Giants, White Heart, Whitecross, Barren Cross, and some "new" bands like Third Day and Sonic Flood (particularly their first album). And don't forget R&B gospel like Mom and Pop Wynans, Gary Oliver, CeCe, and Fred Hammond. LOL

Basically CCM that escaped the Aussie invasion is pretty good IMHO.

Stryper in the 1980's -- meh. Albums and concerts were good not great, not worth putting into my playlists to listen to often decades later like a lot of us Gen X'ers still listen to 80's music (and I still do with the bands above). But the stuff Stryper made in the past decade or so since they "came out of retirement" is pretty good (Yaweh, Jesus is Alright, No More Hell to Pay, Reborn, When Did I See You Cry, Passion).

You’re exactly right, and that’s what I thought as well.

There’s nothing *necessarily* wrong with repetition, as shown in that example from Scripture.

That said, I personally find most currently Christian songs to be pretty meaningless, shallow at best. Don’t get me wrong: There are some amazing songs being created for the church, but far too many forgettable ones.

That song was “Mary Did You Know?” and you’re right that it strays from Scripture like so much of CCM does.

Why do you stay at the church then? Find one that does more traditional music.

I get it but that being said I’m betting I’d rather be stuck in a room with the people that wrote such songs rather than their self-righteous critics.

Add a bridge and continuous backbeat rhythm and you’ve nailed it.

What does he know? He's not a Christian!

Besides, he hasn't written anything catchy since he went back to college late in life to study music theory.

I have heard Christian music called 7-11;

7 words repeated 11 times.

I am the choir director at our small church and I get it, too. We rarely us a contemporary selection. Usually sounds good, but no meat to the lyrics and even, sometimes, the contemporary lyrics are not theologically sound.

It will need at least one minor chord if you want me to dedicate my life to Jesus.

I first heard “7/11 music” from Allen Parr and it stuck because it is so devastatingly accurate!
