 So y'all keep talking about how much you dislike particular worships songs. My question is Have you done anything about it? You have three options and I am going to list them in the most logical order (although one and two may be reversed depending on your place in life right now).

1. Bring it up with the leadership, whether it be in IV or in church. Let them know you are feeling this way and that probably others are too and try and figure out what to do about it.
You could
    a. change the songs
    b. bring it up to the fellowship and see how they are feeling.

2. When these songs come up, ask yourself why you are really so against them. Of course they may not be the truth, but why aren't they the truth to you? They could be perfectly true to others. Why not make it the truth by making a concious effort to evoke that feeling or action in your life for the next week?

3. Do nothing but please continue to complain about it on your blogs, so that people can read your whining mess, agree with you and add to the number of people who whine about it on their blogs.

No one is forcing you to participate in these songs. Why not, instead of singing, take the time to pray to God asking him to let you feel the emotions the song is evoking. Or maybe just pray for someone in the room or something.

As for being able to replace Jesus with anyone's name in the song and having it work just as well. Of course you could do that, but you don't. The point isn't that this may be true for others; the point is that it is true for Jesus.

Why don't y'all just research and suggest songs to sing or even write songs of your own, if you are that hard pressed about it.

My work here is done.

Hi!  This is JJ!

I'm not complaining.  Then again, valid information.  I prefer not to sing if I don't have to, but I will pray as long as I am not distracted :P

I definitely already withhold my voice if it comes to a part I don't agree with and I certainly suggest other songs. I haven't been going to worship team much because of the busyness, though, no matter how much I want to. I really want to refrain (hahahaha) from bringing to the fellowship or blacklisting certain songs until I've really examined the Scripture about singing stuff like that... Alex and I are going to be reading through some of the Psalms soon to study why David might say something like, "I want to praise you all of my days."

But you've given me some good food for thought about the matter.

Becky,

Thanks; that was the sort of response I was hoping to solicit from my post. I'm in stage 2 now, but I hope to move to more action (with grace!) and less navel-gazing soon.

-Alex!

thanks, Becky. Sadly, I accidentally pressed "send" earlier today, before I received your helpful hints. We'll just have to hope that they like it anyway...
