I, too, would love to hear more of the old standards. While I love contemporary music, I can’t imagine my children growing up not knowing the words to some of the standard hymns.
In an effort to reach new people, we should remember that God inspired the words of the old hymns as well as the new songs. I have even noticed that many of the contemporary songs I hear on the radio have segments of hymns in them, and that many of today’s artists are doing stirring renditions of the old hymns, including some really good acoustic ones.
Many times, music can reach us when speaking can’t.

I would surely appreciate singing some of the old hymns. As like many other things if we do not practice we are soon to forget. I never want to forget that “He walks with me and He talks with me” or something like “I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop”; I believe our young would also benefit from us sharing those songs and strong messages with them.

Don’t write off us young pups too soon. ) There is a rising among our generation who are longing for depth in our spirituality. That is probably why “spiritual” interest is at an all time high. If the American Church is going to retain my generation and those to follow, it must return to deep theology and doctrine and unwavering truth-no matter the cost. We have been told that there are no absolute truths by the culture and public education, but we know better. Even subconsciously, we know that can’t be true, there is a God-placed longing in each of us seeking Him. There must be a change to be reachable, but it must not be at the expense of theology and doctrine. Only the Holy Spirit can instruct the balance between the two.

I love the old songs also. I have one i sing all the time. When i feel the fear of a panic attack creeping up on me i sing this song and do it where ever i am. I can feel the peace come to me. i would like to have one week each month we could sing some of the oldies like Amazing grace i sing that one alot also. God is mighty for sure and i know Satan is working very hard to draw anyone who will let him into his clutches. I order him away from me alot in the name of Jesus. It works!!

I wish we sang more of the old ones. They seem to have a lot more “meat” to them than a lot of the newer stuff.

This is a very awesome song. Old Joe Beck used to request it. He was big on lyrics. We should use this at church sometime soon.
