@EngelstedZimmermann I think this is all preference and stylistic base. I think it's awesome you are thinking so deeply about the accurate representation of truth in songs, but there comes a point where this becomes splitting hairs.

@travisdoucettemusic (continued) It is also fine to sing, that “God is our help” but I do not think it is fine to sing, that “God is our helper”. In my understanding, a helper is someone trained (or designed) only for the purpose of helping, and it is someone we can control according to our needs. Of course, we cannot control God, but since he has helped, he is our help, but in the future he is our hope.
This is how I see it.

@travisdoucettemusic Just curious, are you the dude singing up front, i.e. the "worship leader"?

The best drum line video ever!by hickyfilm1,989,278 views
To sing to God a NEW song, is to sing from a NEW heart. The old heart will always offer false worship to God. Only the new heart can praise him in spirit and truth.
In my opinion (and this is just what happens to be my opinion), the style is not bad, but the new part (Oh God….) is awful. It talks about God as “our helper” and “worthy of our praise”. I think this is a very low view on, who God is. The song would be better without this new part.

@EngelstedZimmermann That's a nice thought, but if the psalmist wanted to convey singing from a new heart, he would have simply said that - that's not what the Bible says. The instruction is to sing a new song and this is congruent with Scripture and the impulse for expressing fresh praise to God. CF: Psalm 96:1, 98:1, 149:1. Secondly, whereas your view of the chorus is very much your opinion, I must point out the references you say are a 'low view' are Scripture laden: Ps 46:1, Rev 5:11-14.

I don't care what people say about worship styles and the need to "contemporize". Um, what? Have people tried reading the youtube comments on classical hymns in the original majestic style on organ and choir. This transcends culture folks! Am I opposed to all forms of contemporary music? Absolutely NOT! There is a time and a place for that. This particular hymn, as it speaks of God's eternal might and faithfulness, deserves greater music. BTW I'm a "youth", so don't tell me I'm too old to know!

@Man4God4eva No, that's Charles Billingsley someone I have worked closely with for a number of years and respect tremendously as a authentic lifestyle worshipper!
