I’m going to put on my worship leader hat here and say that worship songs are not about what we like or don’t like.

What I “like” or even love may well be a song you’d be fine never to hear (let alone sing) again. ![]() Music (and maybe particularly worship music, due to its personal, participatory nature) is a very individualized preference.
