me too.

[franciscanheart]

some of my favorites:

adoramus te domine
we wanna see jesus lifted high
lord i lift your name on high
awesome god
above all
sanctuary
here i am to worship
open the eyes of my heart
light the fire
heart of worship
i exalt thee
trading my sorrows
how lovely is your dwelling place
god you are my god
awesome god
i will call upon the lord

and the one that goes:
lord you are more precious that silver
lord you are more costly than gold
lord you are more beautiful than diamonds
and nothing i desire compares with you

[YMNolan]

I agree with those that listed Matt Maher especially...

Love Has Come
The End and The Beginning

I am also of the belief that Jars of Clay can do no wrong! Their most recent album "Redemption Songs" puts a contemporary twist on some classic hymns.

[quote name='Theologian in Training' date='Jan 16 2006, 01:21 PM']This may be a stupid question, but what delineates a Praise and Worship song from a Christian song? Is Jars of Clay considered Praise and Worship, or Newsboys. [right][snapback]857778[/snapback][/right]

Not exactly an answer to your question, but I think it's funny.

[quote]Hymns Vs Choruses

An old farmer went to the city one weekend and attended the big city church. He came home and his wife asked him how it was.


"Well," said the farmer, "it was good. They did something different, however. They sang praise choruses instead of hymns."


"Praise choruses?" said his wife. "What are those?"


"Oh, they're OK. They are sort of like hymns, only different," said the farmer.


"Well, what's the difference?" asked his wife.


The farmer said, "Well, it's like this - If I were to say to you: "Martha, the cows are in the corn"' - well, that would be a hymn. If on the other hand, I were to say to you:


'Martha, Martha, Martha, Oh Martha, MARTHA, MARTHA, the cows, the big cows, the brown cows, the black cows the white cows, the black and white cows, the COWS, COWS, COWS are in the corn, are in the corn, are in the corn, are in the corn, the CORN, CORN, CORN.'


Then, if I were to repeat the whole thing two or three times, well, that would be a praise chorus."


The next weekend, his nephew, a young, new Christian from the city came to visit and attended the local church of the small town. He went home and his mother asked him how it was.


"Well," said the young man, "it was good. They did something different however. They sang hymns instead of regular songs."


"Hymns?" asked his mother. "What are those?"


"Oh, they're OK. They are sort of like regular songs, only different," said the young man.


"Well, what's the difference?" asked his mother.


The young man said, "Well, it's like this - If I were to say to you: 'Martha, the cows are in the corn' - well, that would be a regular song. If on the other hand, I were to say to you:


'Oh Martha, dear Martha, hear thou my cry Inclinest thine ear to the words of my mouth Turn thou thy whole wondrous ear by and by To the righteous, inimitable, glorious truth.


For the way of the animals who can explain There in their heads is no shadow of sense Hearkenest they in God's sun or His rain Unless from the mild, tempting corn they are fenced.


Yea those cows in glad bovine, rebellious delight Have broke free their shackles, their warm pens eschewed Then goaded by minions of darkness and night They all my mild Chilliwack sweet corn have chewed.


So look to the bright shining day by and by Where all foul corruptions of earth are reborn Where no vicious animals make my soul cry And I no longer see those foul cows in the corn.'


Then if I were to do only verses one, three and four and do a key change on the last verse, well that would be a hymn[/quote]
