Misty, I cannot tell you how you have nailed me with this post. thanks for the insight. So much is new. new doesn’t mean good, but new. all from him is good, all from me w/o him is pointless. I will see the new in worship, thx

I am guilty of the worship song malaise. I have sang as many song’s as Misty has lead, and even lead a few myself. The words become boring and they just wander from my mouth which is really only moving so those around me don’t think, “is the pastor not singing?”

“I could sing of your blah, blah, blah.”

Strange enough, not all songs end up this way. It’s funny of all the songs Misty chose to make examples of she picked, I shall be released, by Dylan. No matter what kind of day I am having or where my head is I shall be released still rocks my world as does…

Most of Dylan’s songs; Hallelujah, Jeff Buckley; Nick Drake; All I want is you, U2; War is over, Lennon; and thousands of other songs.

Those songs speak to the core of who I am… this may be the issue. Are we exhausted with the songs we use for worship or are we numb? When I hear Dylan sing I feel as if he is expressing my thoughts. He is speaking from my gut. Why don’t I feel the same when I sing songs of worship?
