Discernment in Corporate Worship Singing

This is an interesting blog entry from one of the worship leaders at Mars Hill church in Washington, talking about why he's stopped leading the old hymn "I'll Fly Away" in their worship services.

What do you think about his reasoning?

"I'll Fly Away"
by Albert E. Brumley
Copyright 1931, renewed 1960 Albert E. Brumley & Sons

Some glad morning when this life is o'er,
I'll fly away;
To a home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away.
CHORUS:
I'll fly away, O glory,
I'll fly away;
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away.

When the shadows of this life have grown,
I'll fly away;
Like a bird from prison bars has flown,
I'll fly away.

Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away;
To a land where joys shall never end,
I'll fly away.
