Songs to God

I was very blessed to be able to play the bass guitar for both preview weekends of FCC's new album Stonewalled. For one, I have to say that the people at FCC are truly talented. I feel that they are the OMG kinda talented?

I was very ministered by the music and a few of the songs. Why not all of the songs? I guess I have always been ministered more by songs exalting, praising and proclaiming God rather than a more introspective and reflective kind of sharing and prayer put into songs.

My random thought process: When we give thanks to God in our songs, when we proclaim His goodness in our lives, when we use the words in the living word to tell of His love for us, when we focus on Him, we are truly worshipping and praising Him regardless of our situations.. I guess I felt that when we thank Him for being there for us, when we thank Him for fulfilling our needs, when we thank Him for his presence with us, it feels like we are thanking Him for what He has given to us, not for who He is. I guess that's fine when people give thanks and worship God irregardless of their situations, but it irritates me when people blames God when bad things happen and they stop believing in God and think He's less than what He used to be.

I need to be less self-righteous and more flexxxxiibbblllleeeeeee I guess. Anywayz, the songs sound nice and they are good songs because they are people's personal love songs to God, but I have moi preferences regarding the songs I like to sing in church, I guess. :)
