Modern Christain music is written in a single fashion today. It is written for people to sing along, with extended verses repeating over and over. Many churches have replaced their worship with music. They are music ministries. It’s popular, feel good, and the pastors can steer clear of today’s issues or politics. Another popular thing is being the wine and bread portion of service every Sunday, which again allows the music to be played while people wait in line to get their grape juice and bread. Everything is designed to participate with the exception of announcements.
There are literally no Christian songs popularized on the radio today that were not designed for extended worship service. K-Love Industry has resulted in Chruches and music ministries that essentially every amature musician in the community shows up to be a part of service to play or sing.
It is an amazing phenomenon to see evolve.
I mentioned to my pastor once about the repetitive nature of the modern songs. He agreed that it was repetitive. And that there was a reason. “You know how growing up you did the repetitive, rote responses between the preacher and the congregation? Well, we don't have that anymore.”
It is in the song. I can't remember precisely why he said that repetition is important. But he said what he does (and what I now do make the songs bearable) is to focus on God. Every time the verse repeats about how God is good, full of grace or whatever, focus on an individual way that God is “good” (or whatever) each time that word is sung. I've found that very helpful and worthwhile.
