If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

Lots of churches are replacing hymns with newer songs, but this is a first.

Cool and a bummer at the same time - I still love the traditional hymns.... most of which are vertically alligned... seems a lot of today's songs are more "horizontal" than vertical..

Kind of fitting given that Bono is a born again. I think it's really interesting.

The problem with a number of hymns is this: They don't MEAN anything unless translated to modern engrish.

Not really. Most hymns stay away from thee, thou, ye hadst, etc. etc. I personally love singing hymns, but I also love singing contemporary songs.

Very Really. What does a 'sheeve' mean to anyone today?
So felt Thy martyr, Lord;
By Thy right hand sustained,
He waged for Thee the battle’s strife,
And threatened death disdained.
Upon the golden crown
Gazing with eager breath,
He fought as one who fain would die,
And, dying, conquer death.etc...etc...etc..Thou grace divine, encircling all,
A soundless, shoreless sea!
Wherein at last our souls must fall
O love of God most free!
And though we turn us from thy face,
And wander wide and long,
Thou hold’st us still in thine embrace,
O love of God most strong!
