  The words we sing  
             
 

Almost any worshiper would agree that the most memorable words from any liturgy are the words we sing. No matter if a congregation's preferred style of music is classical or classic rock, good and bad examples of God-centered worship music abound. A simple test for evaluating the texts of worship music involves four brief questions:

  • Who is speaking in the text?
  • To whom are they speaking?
  • About what/whom are they speaking?
  • What are they saying?

If some name or attribute related to God is not the answer to at least one of these four questions, there is probably a far better text available for God's worshiping people to sing.
