Familiar Words - Foreign Tunes

Speaking of musical upset - a few years back, the worship band played "when I survey' but to a different tune and there were a great many sad people. Now it is a strange phenomenon that there are many sad people in the Christian world isn't it. What makes it sadder still is the fact that those who do nothing to make things happen are always invariably the same people who put the most energy into com[plaining and moaning about things!

Well, it was these do nothing/be happy with nothing types who took every opportunity to regale anyone who would listen with their contempt for the music the words were sung to.

Have a listen and ask which you prefer and why?

What does this tell you about:

1. Pathetic, lazy and opinionated Christians?

2. Your own musical tradition?

3. Modern settings and their merit (musically or otherwise)?

Enjoy
