I enjoyed a lot during the last Christmas celebration at Shidi. There were beautiful songs composed by young people. Those stood among the young composers were Aphu T-M-PHU and Commando. Its exciting these young gifted boys are using their gifts.
Each have organized its members, all young teens. They rehearsed about 20 songs. Singing in church began even before the Christmas. At Christmas venue they sang whole night. Incredible commitment!
My heart goes, “If those songs were used in churches”. Perhaps we might witness powerful singing in the congregation. We sing hymns which were composed about 200-300 years ago (not to offend hymn lovers!) and in another culture. So we don’t hear very energetic singing in church, but serious faces.
Would God question us for not using the songs our young people are composing? We may need to answer him?
If… If we use the young people’s songs, would:
· Sale of songbooks exceed hymn books?
· Congregational singing become more livelier?
· Revival take place?
· That increase church attendance?
Today I read a beautiful verse for the first time: Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth (Psalms 96:1). God wants us to sing new songs to him.
