The state of contemporary worship music

I've never said I'm a gifted musician. I really like to play guitar and piano, but that doesn't make me excellent at either one of them. My Grandma recently asked me to sing "a solo" at my grandfather's funeral, but I politely choose to speak instead. Still, (especially in college), I enjoyed sitting down with the guitar and a journal and saying hi to God. That was until I found this. This is the love poem generator, but guess what...you can create KICK ASS worship songs with it. Seriously, I feel like Michael W. Smith (is he still singing?) with this thing. Go ahead, try it out. Enter something like "Jesus" or "My Lord" into the Love portion. Then get creative on the gift portion. I entered "heart." And out shoots something (a song?) that (unfortunately) would pass on many a worship album today. Take a look at mine.

I wrote this letter especially for you
To prove that my love for you is true
Love is our connection
To you I dedicate all my affection

My Lord, you are unbelievably beautiful
When I am near you my heart goes like a raging bull
Words cannot express
What I felt when you said 'yes'

My Lord, you mean so much to me
I never knew this could be
I anxiously await our time ahead
With impatience, I am fed

I hope you can put this heart to use
It is a gift you cannot refuse
Until soon, when we meet again
I will please you in whatever way I can

I'm not sure what this says about my feelings for many contemporary worship songs, but I'd lean heavily towards a big "They Suck."

I'll leave you with this..."Friends are friends forever, If the Lord's the Lord of them. And a friend will not say never, 'cause the welcome will not end. Though it's hard to let you go, In the Father's hands we know...That a lifetime's not too long (dramatic pause) To live as friends."

    Thank You for posting the Michael W smith cd cover. My Place in this world kicks friends are friends forever's ass.

    I actually heard that "smitty" is putting the music career on the back burner and he is plating a church outside of nashville, seriously. top

    My Place In This World played an instrumental role in my early spiritual development...as a 12 year old I could identify with what it was like to find my own place in this world. Go Smitty go on the church plant! top
