Yes, I think it...Eric,<BR/><BR/>It's great to hear from you. Yes, I think it would be good to teach the congregation some songs that the younger people sing. There are so many new songs today--many more than a song book could keep up with. <BR/><BR/>Song books are now like printed encyclopedias--they are out of date as soon as they are printed. That is why people now go online for encyclopedias and dictionaries. There is still value in the older songs, but many of the new are missing from them.<BR/><BR/>So I would say, offer to teach some new songs to the song leaders, and if you have particular ones, get with me and I'll try to work with them as well. Most of the time people are not trying to be exclusive, they just sing what they know or what we have music for.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you also see value in some of the lyrics of older songs. There is value in both kinds.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing!James Noredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13707292759635770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25422068.post-68178285268411627542007-09-27T12:22:00.000-07:002007-09-27T12:22:00.000-07:00that is such a good point james, i being of the yo...that is such a good point james, i being of the younger generation love it when newer songs are sang but alot of the older songs have amazing depth in the lyrics.mmaybe we could try to get someone to lead some more diverse worship services, i know that i have a youth group song book and i know most of the songs i could teach to any of the song leaders.i hope i am not overstepping my bounds.erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14797248707886068700noreply@blogger.com
