Thread Name: Praise Songs vs. Hymns
Subject: RE: Praise Songs vs. Hymns
Many years ago, someone pointed me to the songs of Mrs. C.H. Morris

To me, most her songs are particularly 'singable' (no matter what one feels about the message)... and some are hard to sit still to- one feels the need to get up and march. such as The Fight is On (read the words & play the midi provided)
or this one
Enlisted for Life...

As a non-religious guy, I can relate to the feelings expressed in Mrs. Morris' metaphors and appreciate her sincerity in ways that I never find in the chokingly cloying 'praise' songs used in many TV evangelist programs, where over-done sets and sanctimonious testifying lead to pleas for money.
