I miss hymns. I didn't realize how much till last week. Four Seasons had special guests come and sing for us. They sang mostly hymns. I knew all of them. It filled my heart with joy, peace and God's presence. I grew up with hymns. I learned how to follow music, sing in a group, feel a part of something much larger than me by using a hymnal and everyone singing together. In our new "Contemporary Worship" our voices are drowned out by loud music and repetitive feel good lyrics. I do believe we can reintroduced hymns to new generations. You don't need to add new verses spice it up. Just play the song. There are amazing and powerful hymns that don't need that. Just some thoughts.
