Why Modern Worship Songs Disappoint

Have you ever had the sense while listening to a new worship song that something is missing? Have you felt bad for feeling that way? In today's episode I dive into the craft of song writing. Turns out, there are some structural problems with modern worship songs that can't be explained by style preference. I compare a hymn from a few hundred years ago with a "faux worship song" I wrote to show you some of the mistakes modern worship writers make. But I'm not here to bash the church, I'm here to help. My hope is that you can write your own songs to serve your local church and avoid some of these trendy mistakes. Serve your people. Improve every day. Create your own expression of worship. The Lord deserves it.
