Those old songs mean so much to our elders (and even to me and I'm no where near Monkeyman's age  ) Some of the newer ones will be remembered by the generation of today, should the Lord tarry, long after they are considered "old" by our children!
I'm with you... a good mix is where it's at. |
We were having our old song leader lead a portion of the service a while back and he actually sang this song! I almost died, all I could think of is what the visitors were thinking! That is one song that I think would very hard for a visitor to understand the concept of. Us old-timers get it, but seriously, "Canaans Happy Land"? Doesn't that sound like the name of a weird theme park to you?? LOL!!
