i was sitting today at my computer with the song "Mighty to Save" going through my head. Its an awesome song, its a Hillsong song so ofcourse its awesome. Anyways I wanted to hear it so badly i brought YouTube up to see if anyone posted it. sure enough there was a couple on there. I spent the next hour or so going through YouTube pulling up different Christian Artist from back in the 80s and 90s. Dare i say wow what times have changed. The songs we had back in the 80s like "Seventy times Seven" by Whiteheart, talking about forgiveness we need to extend to one another, "Living in Ladocia" by Steve Camp talking about how God commanded us to not be lukewarm or he would spew us from his mouth. I could go on and on. But the thing that struck me is back then Artist talked about God and his love and mercy and power so strongly back then in concerts. What happend?
It also caused me to break out the old worship CDs i have and listen to them. I havent heard a lot of those old songs in forever. My how the church is missing out on not singing them anymore. I would love to sing a few sundays of "Oh Lord You are Beautiful", or "Lord you are more precious then Silver", or even 'He who Began a Good work in you" even the old hymns we are missing so much from not singing these anymore.
It doesnt matter how one worships, loud, quiet, reading time, non reading, we are created to worship our Creator. 24/7/365 thats what its all about. we did it then, why cant we do it now?

This is so true. I love this old artist named Rita Spring.. and Ron Kenoly. They both have real worship.. the kind that ushers in the presence of God and makes you dance like David did.. open hearted before God. I love the new songs today but I miss the passion of the old ones. And so glad to know someone else has heard of WhiteHeart or TheKry.. or Petra!
