Just to stick my nose in here (two years late,) most of these songs aren’t “new and better.” They’re very old hymns that are being newly realized by a generation that desperately needs the authentic dependence on Christ taught in so many of the old hymns. People were once much less self-sufficient and realized more clearly their true need for Christ. So, I agree that “a song can’t do [the Holy Spirit’s] job on its own,” but I would offer that the presence of the Holy Spirit was real to the writers of those hymns in ways that we, as first world citizens, don’t experience as often (our fault, not His.) And I’m speaking in generalities, not in individualities. Agree? Disagree?
