That book is a constant reminder of why I left Christianity.
Oh yeah - classics like the Thompson Alleluia . . . good choir settings of hymns . . . good gospel music . . . who cares WHAT they're sayin', it could tug at anyone's heart strings. Somebody needs to re-work some lyrics and keep some of that xtian music alive. Bits of gospel went into modern popular genres, but not in its pure form.
But any more I have to actively work at focusing my attention on the pure sound and ignoring the lyrics!
