Worship Music Thoughts - Praise & Worship P&W

This is a place for Christians to discuss what song Worship is. How do we do it? What works well? How do we balance many issues facing us? Tough questions will be asked. We can also share favorites (songs, bands, websites) and worst "favorites" (songs, bands, etc). I hope to learn and grow and get some great ideas.

Name:
Location: Eagle Grove, Iowa, United States

I was born in 1973 in Zaire, Africa. My parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents on my mom’s side were all missionaries with the Evangelical Free Church in Zaire. I graduated from boarding school in Zaire (Ubangi Academy) in 1991 and went to Moody Bible Institute. I spent my summers working at Hidden Acres, the Evangelical Free Church camp in Iowa and it was there I met my lovely and gracious wife, Lori (though we didn’t fall in love there). I received a B.A. in Youth Ministry from Moody and spent over 5 years in an Independent Baptist Church in rural Michigan. I left there at God’s call in 2002 to serve at Grace Evangelical Free Church in Eagle Grove, Iowa, as the Youth Pastor. I have an incredible son, Benjamin, and a beautiful daughter, Elise. My wife is a huge part of our ministry with the youth. I am currently pursuing (slowly) a Master of Arts and Religion from Reformed Theological Seminary through their virtual campus (distance education). My passions are for the glory of God, my family, guitar, volleyball, sports in general, and students. Though the future is unclear, I believe God has called me to “full-time” ministry.

What are your least favorite worship songs?

FIRST OF ALL - Be gentle. I think we can be mature about this. Some songs just are poor - musically, theologically, whatever. What are your least favorite worship songs? Simple enough.

FOR ME PERSONALLY:

King of Kings (something to do with camp and guitar)
Blindman (that's my wife - she hates that song - again - camp)
Pow'r of Your Love
I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever
Southern Gospel almost anything
Turn of the century Gospel Songs (there are a few exceptions)
There are so many more - and I'm drawing a blank now
So many songs where I change a word to make it theologically (more) accurate
Shout At (I mean "to") The Lord (it's worn out its welcome)
