I JUST DON&#8217;T GET IT. And I don&#8217;t get it from so many angles. I don&#8217;t get many worship songs, in fact I turned to my son in a church service today and asked him if he knew what the chorus was on about. &#8220;<em>Nope<\/em>&#8221; he replied with a shrug. He may only be 9 but my response as a 34 yr old was &#8220;<em>me neither<\/em>&#8220;. I don&#8217;t get them at the best of time, let alone advertising a CD of them. I recognise that many people value and find a help from chorus&#8217; but I don&#8217;t get the context, rarely understand the point of singing those words in the context they are being used in. I don&#8217;t get how they are &#8220;worship&#8221; songs or a time of worship. I don&#8217;t get coming into the presence of God. I don&#8217;t get the lack of resonance with current music culture. I don&#8217;t get the all too often acoustic guitar thing, that feels like I should don a cowboy hat. I guess my sister who is a country and western freak might line dance to some, but she wouldn&#8217;t get them either. I don&#8217;t get the consumerism of many songs. I don&#8217;t get the lack of community, I don&#8217;t get the individualism or the triumphalism.
