I think I understand what they are saying - but I think that we are so used to being
entertained in this world - it's like our Sac mtg. - they are way different than some
churches - some are in it to compete for our attention.
I myself decided that I would get more in to the hymns - especially with the Sac hymn -
After singing - I keep the hymnal open and read the words again as the Sac is being
passed (not reading it in phrases, but as the message it is trying to teach)- then I will read the scripture references at the bottom - I was thinking that
I would even bring my own hymn book and start marking it, like my scriptures (haven't
done that yet, but just might this next week!)
The Sunday before last - as we were singing the Sac hymn - I had a wonderful
spiritual experience, that was meant just for me - some of the words stood out
as I sang them and it was a sweet message from Heaven that gave me comfort
and a sense of peace - I was so grateful!
I feel that the more prepared we try to be and the more we ask for, and bring the
Spirit with us to our meetings - the more we will see and feel the fire and passion
in the hymns! We just can't be complacent and just sing the words - we have to
FEEL and have a testimony of them!!!

Subject: [ldssacredmusic] "Fire and Passion in Hymns?" "compared to other songs, they just don't have any passion or fire." I respect their opinion, but I assure you this remark brought up some passion and fire in me, as hymn are the most passionate and fiery songs I know! As a kind but lengthy rebuttal to his remark, I am starting to write an article about the Passion and Fire in Hymns - how they get into hymns and how to feel them. I would appreciate and enjoy remarks from anyone who would like to respond to me that I may quote you or use your ideas in this article. I would also enjoy hearing what hymns have these emotions for you and how and why... or any other remarks. I would also enjoy remarks as to why hymns don't have passion and fire and why and what can be done about it. I would appreciate honest and frank remarks both pro and con. Please let me know if I may name you in the article or if you would rather remain unknown. I do hope to publish the article, but If nothing else I will post this article with other hymn-related articles I've posted on my website. Thank You Bruce T.
