Hymns: Build My Life

In this series, I take a brief look at some of the very modern worship songs. I regret that the older hymns aren’t sung much anymore in modern evangelical churches. Yet, we do have access to them all on YouTube and Spotify. And maybe they’ll come back again at some stage. But I like to … Continue reading Hymns: Build My Life

Hymns: How Great is Our God

In this series, I take a brief glance at some of the very modern worship songs. I spent many years ignoring these. Back around 2017, I started familiarizing myself with some new songs – but these were songs from the 1990s. I’m finally catching up with the 21st Century songs ๐Ÿ˜„. How Great is Our … Continue reading Hymns: How Great is Our God

Hymns: Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)

In this series, I’m taking a brief glance at some of the newer hymns and worship songs. This one is older in two ways. But I first heard this current song when I went to see the film Amazing Grace, which was about William Wilberforceโ€™s fight to abolish the British slave trade. You can view … Continue reading Hymns: Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)

Hymns: 2017 Memories

I began this series with my Hymns: 1980 Memories post, so this is the 37th in the series ๐Ÿ˜€. How the years fly by. But 2017 gave me the opportunity to revisit my youth. Bob Dylan released Trouble No More – a large collection of songs from his Christian phase – 1979 to 1981. The … Continue reading Hymns: 2017 Memories

Hymns: What a Beautiful Name

In this series, I take a brief glance at some of the very modern worship songs. I didn’t always like modern worship songs. I enjoy the older hymns. But then again, I like both pop music and classical music. You don’t need to choose between them. And for church on Sunday, I see no rules … Continue reading Hymns: What a Beautiful Name

Hymns: Waymaker

In this series, I take a brief glance at some of the very modern worship songs. I remember back in the 1990’s, I always sneered at new songs ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. I’d see them on BBC’s Songs of Praise. You’d have nice old hymns sung in church, and then they’d show some conference with a whole bunch … Continue reading Hymns: Waymaker

Hymns: Living Hope

In this series, I take a brief glance at some very modern worship songs. I’m very much a lover of old hymns. I also take delight in listening to some of the charismatic choruses that were popular back in the 1980’s, when I was a young Christian. For many years, I tended to dislike or … Continue reading Hymns: Living Hope

Hymns: The Battle Belongs

In this series, I take a brief glance of some of the more recent worship songs. Because I’m in my sixties, it would be all too easy to criticize these, but my experience of music is that if you give something time, and let go of your prejudices, you can develop a taste for music. … Continue reading Hymns: The Battle Belongs

Hymns: King of Kings

In this series, I briefly look at some very new worship songs. I’ve only become familiar with these over the last few years. Before that, for me, “modern” meant anytime between the 1970s and 1990s ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. I do cherish the older hymns, such as those written by Charles Wesley, but I try to maintain an … Continue reading Hymns: King of Kings

Hymns: The Blessing

In this series, I take a brief look at some very modern worship songs as an old guy who should really be 18 and living in 1980, but I find myself here in 2025. I blame those guys on the Starship Enterprise ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. But now that I’m here, I’ll need to adjust. Today’s Hymn is … Continue reading Hymns: The Blessing
