| I have noticed that the songs we sing in church now are much narrower in scope than the songs we sang when I was a youngster. Here is an article that promotes broadening our imagery, especially beyond the American romantic ideal, when we sing of God's love. |

| Agreed - romantic love songs to Jesus have their place - but their is a much broader love out there.Life is full of many more experiences than romance - our worship songs should incorporate all of them.We have made most worship songs into romantic worship - like a 14 year old girl discovering first love. We need to broaden our base - country songs don't just talk about the girl - they incorporate a dog, fishing, and hanging out with friends...oh, and trains |

| But the perfect country song talks About mama, trains, trucks, prison, getting' drunk. ie;Well, I was drunk the day my mom got out of prisonAnd I went to pick her up in the rainBut before I could get to the station in my pickup truckShe got run ned over by a da**d old train |
