Do you miss them as much as I do?

Light Me on Fire!
 
 
I miss the old hymns that made my spirit soar.
The new songs are nice, but I want so much more.
I want to feel the music throughout my body, soul and mind.
With having it flow through me, like the good old kind.
 
When singing the music of today, I sing from my voice.
Barely feeling moved, my heart has no choice.
The tunes of today are flashy but they can’t replace,
The songs in my heart or the smile on my face.
 
Remembering the Old Rugged Cross and Amazing Grace,
Puts joy in my heart that spreads to my face.
Give me the Old Time Religion that my soul desires.
Please give me those songs and light me on fire.
 
Written by,
Bonnie May

Hymns from the soul are irreplacable, to be sure. But they live on in our own. Thanks for sharing this, Bonnie.

Amazing Grace is still popular in my Church. But I don't like most of the new ones and people don't sing along when they are played.

I like the older hymn too, I think they are sang from the soul and not superficially.

yes, yes, yes the old hymns carry weight, modern day poppy worship songs have no depth and appeal to the pop concert crowd, who worship God all matey and not almighty. Having said that, the Catholic church still sing the old songs of praise <-- words from ORC
