For those that don't know, or for those looking back at these from sometime in the future, the South-East England and particularly Staines/Laleham/Shepperton (my area) are experiencing extraordinarily high water levels on the Thames, resulting in homes and gardens being flooded.
Now this got me thinking about how many worship songs would fall into this category. The thing is, the more I thought about it, the more came to mind.
It seems the rivers and water prove to be very popular themes when it come to writing worship songs
So, without wanting to belittle what has happened to some families, here is the start of a list of songs to be avoided at the moment (with offending lines in brackets where appropriate);
- Lord send the rain - Actually don't for a while
- It's rising up, from coast to coast - Well from the bottom of the garden, actually
- We rejoice for the river is here - Erm, do we?
- Water you turned in wine - Interesting idea, but would cause additional complications
- Find me in the river (find me on my knees) - Not a good idea due hygene issues
- Oceans (You call me out upon the waters)
- River wash over me
- Come to the water
- Rain down
- Come and Listen (come to the water's edge)
- Beneath the waters (I will rise)
- Over the mountains & the sea (your river runs with love for me)
Now there must be more than this, but it'd more fun to let others think of them.
Feel free to leave comments with any others you can think of.
