Worship songs should also draw us closer to God and to the strength, conviction, comfort, and counsel He provides. Worship music at its best should be an accurate reflection of who God is and an accessible tool for His worshipers to use to affirm that truth. I’m going to put on my worship leader hat here and say that worship songs are not about what we like or don’t like. The pastor replied, “Oh, what don’t you think the Lord liked about it?” and vice versa.īut I’m reminded of the story of a pastor whose congregant commented to him after the Sunday service that he hadn’t liked the music that morning. What I “like” or even love may well be a song you’d be fine never to hear (let alone sing) again. Music (and maybe particularly worship music, due to its personal, participatory nature) is a very individualized preference. If you’re reading this piece (and you obviously are), it’s probably for one of two reasons: 1) to see if your favorite worship song is on this list, or 2) to see if your least favorite worship song is on this list.
