Such a beautiful and wondrous hymn.

The old hymns were written to teach theology and doctrine through excellent poetry and music that would stay in your mind and heart, and so much of today's praise music doesn't teach anything of depth. So often it's self centered instead of God centered. What a wealth of J. M.

It seems that many hymns have the longevity that so many, even wonderful, praise songs don't share.Janet Grunsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03635290708361600803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-33321770943912723522013-07-28T13:39:45.706-04:002013-07-28T13:39:45.706-04:00Lovely hymn!

That is one reason I don’t care for modern day worship music all that much. I know there are some great modern stuff out there, but so much of it doesn’t actually say anything substantial and certainly doesn’t teach us anything. I love songs that actually tells us about Christ and what He has done for us!Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515104111477270338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-33697598469620096042013-07-28T03:59:56.227-04:002013-07-28T03:59:56.227-04:00Love that hymn !
