Come on and celebrate,
Celebrate, celebrate and sing
Celebrate and sing to our ki-i-i-i-i-i-ing

It's a wonderful song

Anyone else recall this cringeworthy 'action song' (I can only remember the chorus)?:

I'm not a grasshopper, I'm a giant for the Lord (repeat 3 times)

When you get to the chorus, you're supposed to hurl your arms straight down in front of you (like line judges do when a ball is in at Wimbledon) and jump up and down maniacally. Good clean fun. NOT!

I always wondered: what in the heck would Love do that for?

I think you'll find that it is 'Love Crucified Arose' as in 'Love embodied in Christ, was Crucified and then Arose from the dead'

Okay, let the mockery begin.

The Lord's loving kindnesses
indeed will never cease
And his compassions
they will never fade away

They are new every morning
They are new every day
Great is thy faithfulness

The Lord's amazing grace
abounds to us every day
And his great mercies
they will never fade

is potentially a really good song but spoile by the horrible scansion in the second verse. An extra 5 minutes effort would have improved it no end.

Then there are songs that mix thee and thou and you in the same verse!

The biggest grammatical irritation in modern crap choruses is that one that goes 'It was for freedom/That Christ has set us free.' Get yer tenses right, O shiny-gnashered ones.

I don't quite class my life as being that good , but then again compared to what it could be... But in its context it is a little too silly to be singable.

That song was on my list of All-time Most Hated, for that line. It got redeemed, when I put it up on the original Crappy Chorus thread, and someone came back and told me what the the lyrics could be translated as (they're from Songs of Solomon)

Erm, can we just clarify exactly who amongst your friends at uni balked at that particular song? I always loved it. Maybe I was just too easily pleased.

(And remind me, did we end up managing to get the ad hoc choir to sing that one at my wedding, or did they refuse?! )
