That 'song' -if you want to call it that, is on a personal short list of torturous tunes that are most likely to invade my fever dreams. Like a horrible experiment conducted in an institution, I will hear the same couple of bars over and over and over again, while no doubt, various electrodes are in place to measure all manner of physical response. It is very likely that the creatures doing the measurements are not human, or are but merely employed by said creatures.

I have found His Grace is all complete, He supplieth every need
While I sit and learn at Jesus' feet, I am free yes free indeed.
I sang that song at a country church and kicked the tempo up a knotch and the place broke wide open. The same church went wild over "He brought me Out" too.
It all depends on how it's sung and when it's sung. Any song can be murdered or over sung I've found... Unfortunately, once it's been murdered it's awfully hard to ressurect! ***Sis LPW lays hands on her hymnbook and prays***

Is that where you worship until you're dizzy and fall down?
I have personally seen this happen. Actually, as a kid, I remember actually doing this while everyone else was shouting....LOL!!!!!

Preaching a lot of meetings and having been on Youth Committees for years I hear the best of the best... and, if they have that preservice songfest where everyone is allowed sing if they just 'sign up', the absolute worst of the worst.
When you mention how many ways a song can be murdered I immediately thought of about a three year period where I heard "I Choose To Be A Christian" sung in every tempo, every style and every melodic mutiliation known unto mankind.
It was NOTHING to have three people in a row singing that very song. One night the Youth President completely lost it and, through his laughter, told us that the latest rendition (being sung as he spoke) was to the exact tune of "The House of the Rising Son" except with the words, "I chooooooose to beeeeeeeee a Christiaaaaaaaaan"... and he was EXACTLY right!
Another one that was a good song the first 598,234 times we heard it was "Let Me Tell You Who Jesus Is". I knew the author, good man, but they drove that puppy in the ground... and that right quickly!
