Here's a peeve of mine. In a few songs, the Baptist Hymnal changes the words. In the hymn, "Alas and Did My Savior Bleed" (At the Cross), the words are "Would He devote that sacred head for sinners such as I?"
The original words: "Would He devote that sacred head for such a worm as I?"
Am I the only one bothered by that?
Music4you, you're right that music leaders need to be vigilant. There are some songs that I just can't sing. Remember the old one, "There's a New Name Written Down in Glory?" If you're a Calvinist, you won't sing it. If you're not, you'll have no problem with it.
I wish I could remember who said "Your theology should drive your hymnology."
