The great Neil Finn opens his hit song “Don’t Dream It’s Over” (during his Crowded House tenure) with this lyric: There is freedom within, there is freedom without Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup I was listening to this as I drove to work and the lyric resonated with me in a [...]
As I read Glen Packiam’s post on the importance of the words we use in worship, I was reminded of a hymn that I think does a masterful job of using poetic imagery to illuminate the gospel. It sings truth so beautifully, but it’s not poetic at the expense of truth and that distinction is [...]
This is a blog series I like do where I examine “secular” songs that if sung with a different heart, perhaps a different perspective or a changed line here or there would make for a wonderful worship song.

Tim Hughes has posted an interesting question on his blog raising the question, “Can we sing songs of worship directed to the Holy Spirit?.” I think the question is more interesting in its choice of phrasing and inference then the actual answer to the question. We should all agree that we can’t sing any songs [...]
“Here’s my heart Lord take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above” God’s amazing expression of love was shown through His Son Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. His death and resurrection was a guarantee that those who would believe will have everlasting life. What could possibly be enough from us [...]
