Ever stop to think about the language we use in worship? For example: “Know that the Lord is God indeed, without our aid He did us make…” Not exactly everyday language. These words, though old and poetic, carry deep truths. And when we sing them—really listen to them—they do more than fill the space. They shape our faith. In a new reflection Maxie Dunnam just wrote, he shares how hymns, scripture, and years of ecumenical worship experiences have shown him just how powerful words can be—not only in the sanctuary, but in our everyday conversations and relationships. If you’ve ever felt like worship was just going through the motions… If you’ve ever wondered why certain words move you and others don’t… Or if you just need a fresh lens for your Sunday morning… I think this short article might encourage you.
