What Themes Are Missing In Worship Songs?

Just found these two videos on Youtube – they are from a TV filming I did in Canada recently.

The TV  show is called “100 Huntley Street” and their broadcasts reach 1.5 million viewers per week.

Realising that possibly 1.5 million people heard my songs that day on Huntley Street really got me thinking. I wondered “am I writing about things that people want to say? Am I writing about the right stuff?”

Are we as Christian songwriters/worship leaders/pastors, writing and using songs that say the right and needed things?

Or are there themes and topics in worship that our song repetoire just doesn’t cover?

What themes are missing from our churches, our songbooks and our CDs?

Some photos I took tonight…

Hi there!

I drove downtown to San Diego this evening, so while I was down there I pulled out my camera and took a few night-time shots of the city. The lights are so beautiful next to the water!

This one above, is the Coronado Bridge. It links San Diego city with Coronado Island.

And a few weird effects I created (for better or worse!…)

This shot of Coronado Bridge wins as my favorite…I liked it in black and white as well as the colored one above…so I kept both…

I really want to learn how to take photos… and I need to get Photoshop rather than good old “iPhoto”! But hey….even if my attempts aren’t awesome, I am trying!!

Any one got any advice for me… I’m using a Nikon D80 and a 17-70 lens. Feel free to let me know if there are other lenses that you’ve found cool….or whether there is other photo editing software you’d recommend besides Photoshop…

Grace vs Honesty….

Hey friends!

Had a good week?

Saw this picture and quote on someone else’s blog and thought I’d use it too!

Thoughts?
