Song Lyrics

What's the point of singing worship and praise songs if we don't even know what we're singing? Does the phrase "The Lord is Come" supposed to mean? Or what about a line like, "exalted above all blessing and praise"? Isn't that a bit abstract for most people? What does that mean? And what about out-dated King James English lyrics? If it's not in our modern-day language, how is it supposed to help us?

Or for the unchurched non-Christian, what would a song like, "The Lamb is worthy to be slain" sound like? Or songs about "the blood of Christ"?

up to "The Words We Use"
