And, oh! In after years,
When life is fading fast,
When flow repentant tears —-
Lamenting errors past.
Still shall that holy vow,
Be breathed to Heaven,
And fervently as now,
My heart to Thee be given.
Worship should lead to greater understanding of theological truth. If we contrast the theological depth of the prose hymn in Colossians 1:15-20 with examples from modern praise choruses, we can see more clearly how trivial and insubstantial some of what we sing in our worship is.
