Wanton, orgiastic, revels???

No wonder I love gospel music - and no wonder I won't sing it in church. It really is fun music to sing, but it's full of catchy but empty slogans and vivid images like blood and battles. It's the kind of stuff that's very effective in selling cosmetics or used cars or pyramid schemes - but I'm afraid it lacks depth.

Now, "spirituals" are a different matter - there's depth and richness and wisdom there, along with good music.
It's tough to find music that's good to use in church. the stuff that's musically interesting is often theologically trite - and vice-versa.
