Pilgrim,

Sounds like not much is safe. Reckon it's alright if we just humm?
Sure... go ahead and hummmmm all you like! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> My point was that it isn't just "hymns" and "choruses" which are susceptible to error, but rather any and all types of vocal communication, including the Metrical Psalms. Knowing that should stir one to be cautious about how they write music for the Church and/or for their own personal use.

I doubt there is anything that we do is perfect. However, be that as it may, we are commanded and encouraged to sing unto the Lord. And thus that is what we must and should want to do, but to the best of our abilities, discerning that which proceeds from our lips.

See here: Congregational Singing and the Ministry of the Word.

And here: Evaluating Music Intended for Christian Worship and Enjoyment.

In His Grace,
