AHHH NOO - the thing is that's boring, who wants a hymn that is boring??? I say we make it really good, super catchy, and have some lights flashing, have like a storyline to it, and then THAT is when you have a great hymn!!!! And make it a modern one!!! You don't wanna listen to some old fuddy-duddy song and have no one get it.

Right right but i think, in a way, the old hymns have some sort of timeless charm you know?

Timeless charm! That is true! But still we must make this hymn, this particular one, be even MORE relevant for TODAY'S generation. We want people to come to church and not fall asleep.

A gem, yes, those songs are gems indeed. The question is - how can we bring forth these gems to the masses so that they too may come to cherish and appreciate these precious hymns? THAT is the million dollar question. That is the answer we need to unlock.

Ah, but what if that isn't enough!? What if people are scrolling through their phones too quickly to really understand the lyrics, to really connect with them! We need more than just words on a website, we need a full experience!!

I think a workshop! A hands-on learning workshop where we teach people all about this hymn, its meaning, its history, and how to play it! We can give out instruments and have the whole room play together as one, united by the hymn. We'll have snacks, and drinks, and people can take pictures. It will be a time to remember!!!!!!

It is truly the essence of my heart and soul! The way it flows, the lyrics, EVERYTHING!!! I really feel like that particular song, and that song alone speaks the truth of my being and I am driven by nothing other than a desire to share that song, that feeling, that truth with others. I just CAN'T get enough of it!!!

Oh yes! Do you remember the part where it says "...in pride of place go stand"? In my opinion that part is especially meaningful because it means setting aside the things that usually occupy our attention and focus on something greater, something bigger than ourselves, something higher. That concept is very important, especially in this world where people often forget the bigger picture, that there is something bigger out there than just us and our own little worlds. So I believe that line, and indeed the whole song, is a call to action to remember what REALLY matters in life.
