Spoken:
You're about to hear an example
Of how contemporary
Christian music got started
Some people think it's a new thing
But contemporary Christian music
Isn't really new at all
For centuries, Christians have been using
The music of their day
To convey their love of God to other man
In England, some of the early hymn writers
Actually used melodies from bar songs
Like this one:
I once met a girl
And her name was Matilda
She hung like a pear
And she looked like onе too
Spoken:
Now great hymn writers
Likе Charles Wesley and Martin Luther
Would've taken this very melody
And used it to the glory of God
And when they sang it in church
It would've sounded like this:
