So I've discovered this interesting site.....Adoremus.org. I'd only heard of these people in reference to a really uber-orthodox hymnal they put out (and it's a really good one, actually).

I stumbled upon this article.....it was.......shall we say thought-provoking. Read it. Tell me what you think.

Why Do We Sing Ourselves and Celebrate

interesting article....reformed tradition teaches that all worship should be directed toward God. this is why in presbyterian churches you typically do not sing a song such as "the old rugged cross" because the focus, rather than God, could become an object.

personally, i advocate ensuring most of the texts of the hymns we sing enable us to enter into a conversation of worship with and towards God...but i also think that every once in a while singing "here i am" is ok :-)
