You made some great music suggestions and I would like to add a group for your encouragement. Here's a link to their older album http://www.amazon.com/Divine-Invitation-Something-Like-Silas/dp/B0002ABUX4/sr=8-1/qid=1160674084/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-8004971-8055963?ie=UTF8 Mr. Kauflin,

They also happen to enjoy old hymns put to new music ... so thanks for making these available! Bob,

Here are some not on your list that our youth group enjoy: "Everlasting God" by Brenton Brown (on his new CD with same title), "Hope of the Nations" by Brian Doerkson (on his CD with the same title), "Indescribable" by Laura Story (recorded by Chris Tomlin on "Arriving") and "You are God Alone" by Billy and Cindy Foote. These are songs our youth in particular really respond to. I am very particular with song choices as well due to lack of depth in so many out there, so I hope these help. God bless!

Thanks SO much for the response! I'll be downloading these songs off iTunes as soon as possible. A couple of your suggestions have been on my to do list (Nothing But the Blood & My Savior, My God) and a couple we have started doing recently (Jesus Paid It All & How Great Is Our God). We'll be sure to put these songs into our Wednesday night youth meetings and I know they will be songs which exalt our great God and are sung with a passion for Him. Thanks for taking the time to bring these resources my way. Your blog has been tremendously helpful in giving me a proper perspective on worship and a greater view of God! May God bless you and your ministry. Jay Bob,

Especially the info about Passion's Hymn CD. Question... as a worship leader I believe in the importance of the rich theology of hymns, however, I feel that the traditional arrangement of most hymns will not reach the younger generation. I have members of my band and worship team that feel like the hymn HAS to be sung the way it's always been sung. Do you have some Biblical principles that I could begin laying down with them that will help them understand that the message is in the words not in the 4 part chorale that we've sang for hundreds of years? Or am I wrong in wanting to modernize the hymns so that they are more appealing to a younger generation? Thanks, God continue to Bless you! Thanks Bob for listing these resources.
