Old Songs

How old is too old for a song to be played in a youth worship service in a cutting edge church? I think that question is absurd. Who cares what the age of the song is if it is still relevant? If it helps people connect with God, then how can it be bad? I wonder if Jesus were the pastor of a church today, what would his music service look like? I'm not sure, but it is a fun question. Are hymns on their way out? I hope not. I love hymns. They hold some of the most meaningful, honest lyrics ever written for music. It is Well is one of my favorite hymns. It speaks to the most honest part of the soul. There are no pretenses in that hymn. It is raw and uncovered. That is true worship. I wish we could get back to hymns and older songs because they hold value more than most people realize.
