Explaining the Worship Songs Post

Some of you probably took a look at my worship song Taboo post and went, “Huh?” Thought so. Let me ‘splain the reasoning behind the Taboo words.

Lift (up) our/my voice/hands

Cliché. By no means the worst one, though. But it’s kinda strange to sing that you’re lifting your hands when half the congregation doesn’t. Voice is better.

A Challenge for Modern Worship Songwriters

You know the game Taboo? You get a card with a word on it, and then a list of words you can’t say. You have to get people to say the target word without using the “taboo” words.

This is kind of like Taboo for modern worship songwriters.
