Steve, I do know that to be true, not the Wesleyans, which
I must research now for sure, but there is a simply beautiful,
beautiful little chorus we used to sing in rounds and go
into heavenly harmonies with, its the Praise God from whom
all blessing flow, praise Him all creatures here below,
praise Him above ye heavenly hosts, praise FAther, Son,
and Holy Ghost. I was with some pretty right-on Adventists
keeping the Sabbath for awhile, and loving it, and I mentioned
to this precious man of god pastor that the refrain we sang
in his church was not nearly as pretty as , and I sang the
beautiful one, and he was not impressed, and quickly told
me that THAT melody was taken from an Austrialian drinking
song. I just said, oh,....o.k......, although I did not
believe it to be true. So it does happen.
Just look at the core of what I said and maybe God will
show you things down the road IF they begin to drift off
the path. Let's agree that to this point all music is still
ON THE PATH, but in the future, it might DRIFT OFF THE
PATH. Can we agree on that?
Again, may I weakly whisper for the last time, I said
drums, drums and booping bass guitar rifts in the house
of god. I did not say beautiful instruments that could
make a melody of any kind. My question: why can't we
give up the beat? Are we addicted to it?
Now that's interesting. |
