   Adding Refrains to Hymns

   Recently, I have seen some older hymns being "renovated" with a modern refrain being tagged on. A couple of instances are the addition to Come Thou Fount (of Every Blessing) and Chris Tomlin's beautiful addition to Amazing Grace. Chris Tomlin was originally asked to write the refrain for the movie, Amazing Grace, that followed the life of William Wilberforce. Obviously, it was a huge undertaking. I mean, who wants to touch Amazing Grace, right? If you watch the movie, you'll hear his version during the ending credits; I believe God used that as a springboard, and now that beautiful song and it's added refrain are all over the radio airwaves. So, what do you think?…

   For anyone who has heard this song, is it CCM? It would not be considered Christian Rock would it?

   It is truly amazing to me how far the church has come in America....I heard an illustration that the church always stays a certain distance from the world; but that as the world gets worse, the church follows at the same distance...to where now, the church stands today where the world stood 40 years ago. We don't have cable tv, only regular broadcast stations, but after watching a black and white Sherlock Holmes DVD ( :D ) hubby was flipping through channels and on a PBS station John Denver was having a concert like event (he was my mom's favorite until we started going to church when I was about eight years old, then she threw all the records out.) What amazed me is …

   Amy Grant is a complete hypocrite. She says that she's for God and sings songs about him. Then she goes and gets divorced and remarried and has shown no repentence or sorrow for this sin.

    ITS REAL 1) Oh how well do I remember how I doubted day by day. For I did not know for certain that my sins were washed away; When the spirit tried to tell me, I would not the truth receive; I endeavored to be happy and to make myself believe. Refrain: But it's real, it's real, it's real; Oh I know, I know it's real; Praise God, the doubts are settled, For I know I know it's real! 2) When the truth came close and searching, all my joy would disappear, For I did not have the witness of the Spirit bright and clear; If at time the coming judgment would appear before my mind, Oh, it made me so uneasy, for God's smile I could not find. Refrain 3) When the Lor…

    Another track I made + A question about the genre 1 2 3

    Here's a track I was asked to make based on a short clip I made earlier. It's sort of a mix of Asian and orchestral music I guess. AFAIK, the way I have the percussion in there is OK, right? I'm not emphasizing the backbeat like rock does. But I still wanted to ask what you guys think of it. Is it good or not? (Personally, I'm quite sure it is good, but I wanna make sure.) http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInf ... ID=4511172

    I'm looking for some good non-worldly Christian Music, Right now I only have a few select songs and it took me awhile to find them. I'm hoping to find more. I want the music to have a singer and I tend to like Instrumental Hymns with lots of different instruments but if only it could have someone singing too. Do you all have any suggestions?

    As time goes bye, churches are opening up to adding drums and more to the worship. I brought this up once before, but I am open to drums and more, instruments. Maybe others jump on the bandwagon by now. Chances are not always good, but Hymnal only, we are loosing ground. Do I support Hymns, absolutely. But I am thinking of the future church worship, and where it is going. Trying to keep the youths in its churches.

    I was raised in the IFB movement during the 70s and stayed in during the 80s-2000. While I was in the IFB circles I heard preachers constantly preaching about the Rock and Country/Western music scene and how they were "sensual, devil inspired" types of music. Many had some great background on it, but yet I found that they were allowing some CCM into their services that had the same driving beats, slurred English (Slurring words to make them sound more 'Southern' in nature...example, Karen Carpenter), and swaying, montra type lyrics. It bothered me to some degree. I was very heavy into the Rock and Country scenes growing up, especially since my father owned part of a Weste…
