Be careful what you're getting

I have some concerns which I'll explain. I love a lot of hymns on this album but I was saddened that the 2nd piece (Medley - Butler) had used the substituted words from what the hymn writer, Issac Watts, had originally written for "At the Cross" (also known as "Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed"). What the author of the hymn originally wrote was: Alas! and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I? But in this world where everyone is obssessed about self esteem to a fault, the word "worm" is not tolerated and so frequently "someone" or "sinner" is substituted. But Watts, who was a prolific writer, knew exactly what he meant when he chose the word "worm" to express who he was compared to his Sovereign who died on the cross in his place. Watts' original words express that compared to an infinitely holy God we are as worms with nothing to offer God, and it is unthinkable that Christ should die in our place. And especially note that Watts wrote "such a worm as I" to describe himself, therefore it is rather selfish (dare I say?) for hymn writers to come along later and change Watts' deliberately chosen self-description and as a result also significantly water down the meaning. This Vinyard album chooses not to even substitute the word "sinner" for "worm" and instead uses the ultra bland and unexpressive "someone such as I?" I wonder what other words might be changed in the hymns or what verses left out that are not deemed fitting? I'll have to listen carefully and look up the rest of the words they sing to see what else has been watered down on this album, if anything. That's a shame. If the classic words and their meanings of these hymns don't mean much to you but you also like worship music then I guess go for it. It is a challenge for The Church to put theology in the context of today but at the same time not to subtly (or not so subtly) change their meaning.

One of my favorites.

I have to admit that I agree somewhat with the person who commented on the hymn, At The Cross. As a Calvinist, I was really disappointed in the word choice there to say the least. However, I really appreciate the arrangements on this album and I think that it's a decent project overall. I would also recommend the Passion recording entitled Hymns: Ancient and Modern along with Upward: The Bob Kauflin Hymns project from Sovereign Grace Music. Together, those albums are three of the best arrangements of traditional hymns that I have found. If you like hymns that are done in a contemporary style I would definitely recommend all three of these projects to you.

Older hymns get a fresh face

This album is a very nice rendition of many of the older hymns. Although I consider the high point of this album to be Casey Corum's "Crown Him with Many Crowns." This is very, very good quiet music. Also, I suggest getting the whole album at once so you get the 10:26 Medley by Terry Butler. It's well worth it.
