The Bus Station

Oh I forgot: that song they sing at the foot washing thing. "We wash each other's feet, Uphold each other's lives..." That song makes me CRINGE.

Whernever I come across politically corrected hymns in the CBW, I sing the correct, unsanitized lyrics. Ive had todo that with a few hymns over the years, such as "Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven", one of my favourites.

All right! someone else who is subversive like me!
My problem is I'm in the choir so I get weird looks when I sing the right words. But seriously--I memorized these hymns before the dawn of Crazy Political Correctness. And I sing what I know.

Oh man, I'm glad that my parish has a good hymnal and music program. We only do "Gift of Finest Wheat" maybe once in a blue moon, which is enough to tolerate it. I think I know how "City of God" goes, and yeah.... "Lord of the Dance" is pretty odd too.

Please tell me that I'm not the only one who kind of just hums along to the songs when confronted with such atrocious music? Not only are the lyrics kind of weird, they're not exactly the easiest songs to sight read. Bring back the classic hymns! Pleasing to the ear, theologically solid, and easy to sing!

HYMNS ARE WONDERFUL!

"You satisfy the hungry heart
with gift of Finest Wheat
Come give to us oh saving Lord
the Bread of Life to eat.

As when the shepherd calls his sheep
they know and hear his voice
so when you call your family, Lord,
we follow and rejoicec. "
