Worship

As a songwriter, it is very interesting for me to compare old hymns with modern worship songs. There aren't really any specific rules to song writing so people tend to do what ever they want. Older songs and hymns have a lot more structure and technique. I think one of the reasons people don't like hymns is because they sound very proper and typically young people think they are boring. I think hymns are very underappreciated. A lot of time and effort went into writing hymns and they truly are beautiful. I think it is a very good idea for people to take old hymns and modernize them. Many hymns come directly from the bible and they have a lot of great meaning. The book of Psalms was written as poetry to be sung. Worship is songs that we sing to God. They should be the best that they can.
