My husband just posted this on FaceBook - I am still LOL - as he and I differ when it comes to music. I LOVE praise songs - and can sing them over and over. As you can tell, he has his own opinion:

The Problem with Praise Songs

by Rusty Belcher on Sunday, July 24, 2011 at 9:15pm

First off, don't get me wrong. I love praising the Lord in song. I don't care if it is a classic hymn or a modern tune. My problem is praise songs that only have one verse that is repeated over and over. Would it have killed the author / composer to take a little more time and come up with a second verse? How hard could it be? Well i decided to find out for myself.

After singing today's praise song in church this morning, I decided to see how many additional verses I could come up with before the service was over. Here you go.


Great and Mighty

Great and Mighty is the Lord our God.
Great and Mighty is He.
Great and Mighty is the Lord our God.
Great and Mighty is He.
Lift up your banner, let the anthems sing,
Praises to our king.
Great and Mighty is the Lord our God.
Great and Mighty is He.

Great and Mighty is the Lord our God.
Great and Mighty is He.
Great and Mighty is the Lord our God.
Great and Mighty is He.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God,
That's what we believe.
Great and Mighty is the Lord our God.
Great and Mighty is He.

Great and Mighty is the Lord our God.
Great and Mighty is He.
Great and Mighty is the Lord our God.
Great and Mighty is He.
God gave us his only Son,
Who died for you and me.
Great and Mighty is the Lord our God.
Great and Mighty is He.

Great and Mighty is the Lord our God.
Great and Mighty is He.
Great and Mighty is the Lord our God.
Great and Mighty is He.
Jesus is the way, the truth and light,
The only way to God is He
Great and Mighty is the Lord our God.
Great and Mighty is He.

Great and Mighty is the Lord our God.
Great and Mighty is He.
Great and Mighty is the Lord our God.
Great and Mighty is He.
He coming back to take us with him,
Will you come with me?
Great and Mighty is the Lord our God.
Great and Mighty is He.

Great and Mighty is the Lord our God.
Great and Mighty is He.
Great and Mighty is the Lord our God.
Great and Mighty is He.
Praise Songs should have more than one verse,
It not that hard you see.
Great and Mighty is the Lord our God.
Great and Mighty is He.

I'm only just catching up with reading after a few weeks of non-appearance and I have to say I really had a good chuckle at your husbands comment and rhyming! Good for him - my sentiments exactly. Blessings!
