Most Annoying Hymns

[elizabeth_jane]

On my list:

--Gather Us In
--Though The Mountains May Fall
--Sing a New Song
--Lift Up Your Hearts

Part of this may stem from the fact that I did K-8 in Catholic school, and therefore you sing a lot of the same songs to death. But seriously, I could go through life very, very happy if I never sang these songs again.

here we go again

Kumbya.

[The Bus Station]

We Are Called
Lord, When You Came to the Seashore (!)
We Are the Light of the World (Whose idea was it to put such joyful lyrics to such depressing music?)

[Deus te Amat]

In the Garden
Heavenly Sunlight
Pass Me Not
Jesus Loves Me

There are more... I do music at a local nursing home... its not that these songs are bad.. its that we do them over and over and over and over and over and over

I'm not really fond of "Our God is an Awesome God" mainly because I've heard it too much.

While I do like this song, I can never sing "Jerusalem, My Destiny" without putting an extra emphasis on destiny, just as we all did during Mass in grade school. Funny the things we remember! "Jerusalem, my [i]DES-TINY[/i]!!"

WE SANG IT JUST LIKE THAT, TOO!

Amazing Grace. I loved it at one point...then for about three straight years in Sunday School we sung it twice a day there, and on occasion, a third time in the Service. I cringe at it now.

I totally, totally concur.

Try singing it with a base who thinks it should have the tempo of a funeral dirge! Complete with organ accompaniment!

When I was in grade school, we sang "City of God" a lot, and in the second verse ("we are sons of the morning/ we are daughters of day"), we always broke that up by gender. Even today I feel very odd singing the verse straight through.

[BLAZEr]

I hate that song that has the same tune as Wild Mountain Thyme . . . "And holy is your name through all generations" blech

[inDEED]

I just GOTTA fix the title of this post...

It's hym[b]n[/b]s.

[Starets]

I can only stomache "Amazing Grace" it it is sung to a different tune, such as "The House of the Rising Sun" or the "Gilligan's Island" theme

Also, i dont want to hear "Abba Father" again, along with "And the Father will dance"
