  1. Love it! See this link for more of Lutheran Satire’s soap opera praise song submissions (my kids were involved in writing/performing the last one)

  2. This is so representative of the truth that it is scary.

    Unfortunately, a vast majority of Sunday morning songs are not even as good as these!

  3. There’s not enough repetition. Contemporary worship emphasizes a lot of “mood setting” so the “spirit can work.” Lower the lights, slow the tempo, and the worship leader whispers…..you could be signing the theme song to the Love Boat and the mood would change…

  4. HA!!!! “Your Dynasty Is Our Destiny” was killin’ me! That one gets my vote.
