History of Modern Worship Music

Paul at "Thinking Out Loud" has written A Complete History of Modern Worship Music - from summer camp choruses to Maranatha's"Jesus Music" to Integrity to Vineyard to Hillsong to Delirious. Hey, I've lived through and experienced jsut about every stage in his article! He concludes:

Music is always changing, though; and while many of our children and youth are learning theology through music as we did when we were younger; there is no doubt that the songs will sound antiquated over time. The Bible encourages the writing of new songs of praise (see Is. 42:10) and hopefully our generation will be able to allow the next generation to create, hear and sing their own compositions which express of the ways of God, the truths of God, and the Word of God
