Psalms

Christian music has to be the worst music that is out there. For me the Psalms are the best and always will be. I once heard the psalms sang in Gaelic and it was AMAZING. If you have never heard them sang in Gaelic then try and find a CD because it is a wonderful experience and truly moving. Sadly most Scottish folk don't speak their native tongue and for many years it was banned after the English conquered us. I only know a few words but it is such a wonderful language and I would encourage you to learn it.

I enjoy the simple nature of the psalms sang without instruments. There is such beauty that comes from a persons voice when they are praising God with His own words. It does not matter if you have a voice like metal on metal, God is only interested in your heart when it comes to singing.

Churches have fallen into that trap where they desire to appeal to the modern world and slowly the Psalms have been removed from our churches and replaced with some romantic idea, mans idea of what sounds good.

Have a read of the psalms today and if you have never heard them sang then find a place that does.
