New words for worship

The band had practice last night like we normally do on Thursdays. Afterwards, I was playing a new song I've been working on for McKenna to get her thoughts on it. The song is called Phenomenal. The imagery in the song is inspired directly from some incredible Old Testament passages.

So our conversation turned to how we constantly need to reinvent how we sing and think about the characteristics of God. Our society uses words like awesome and beautiful so often now. We have almost trivialized these words so much that they don't mean anything for the greatness of God. That's why I love new worship words like revolutionary, indescribable, radiate, phenomenal, etc.

I would encourage everyone to really put thought into how you describe God. It's hard, but it will definitely increase your view of the Almighty!
