Thread Name: 'Danny Boy' at Catholic funeral
Subject: RE: 'Danny Boy' at Catholic funeral
Well, Mary, I have to say the modern Catholic songs I hate are the ones that have buzzwords and pop psychology terms. This one contains neither, but I think it's silly nonetheless. Actually, I like four of the five verses, but the third verse of the "Servant Song" makes me call it the "Preposition Song":
Above, below, and around me,
Before, behind, and all through me,
Your Spirit moves deep within me,
Fire my life with your love...
That's EIGHT prepositions in four lines. Is this worship, or English grammar class?
But gee, if you don't like scripture in hymns, maybe you should try a non-theistic religion, hey?
