Praise and Worship Choruses

Pastor told a story Wednesday night about a farmer who decided one Sunday morning that he was going to drive to church.  He was there for everything, and when he returned home, his wife asked him how the service was(since she didn't go with him).  "Well," he said, "It was pretty good, except, they did something a little different.  They didn't sing Hymns at church this time, but they used 'Praise and Worship Choruses' instead." 

"Hmm." His wife said.  "So, what are the differences between Hymns, and Praise and Worship Choruses?" 

"Well," he said, "If I were to say to you, 'Martha, the cows are in the corn,' then that would be like a Hymn, but if instead, I said,

Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha,
The cows, the cows, the big cows, the brown cows, the brown cows, the black cows, the white cows,
Are in the corn, the corn, the tall corn, the yellow corn, the sweet yellow corn,
Oh, Martha, sweet Martha, big cows are in the beautiful corn.

And I repeated every last bit of that to you four or five times. . . That would be a Praise and Worship Chorus!"


I think that description hits the nail on the head!
