This Is An Email Some Man Received

I received this over email... it's almost too true... sad and pathetic to be funny, but I did laugh out loud at some of the titles---only because they so epitomize the "church" today. "In support of the new TNIV translation of the Bible, we are proud to release a new hymnal for churches that are changing their pew Bibles out to the new TNIV. The new hymnal, entitled "The Modern Evangelical Hym/Hernal" will be releasing shortly. The Politically Correct Hymnal was originally going to be called "The Modern Evangelical, Dispensational, Postmodern, Antinomian, Arminian, Gnostic, Middle Knowledge, Open Theistic, Non Denominational, Politically Correct Hymnal," but we felt we may have left some people out...

"Some of the fine classic hymns hand selected and rewritten for today's modern evangelical churches include...

• Amazing Choice
  How Great I Art
  When the Saints Go Retreating Back
  When We ALL Get to Heaven
  All Hail the Power of My Name
  Some of the Way, My Savior Leads Me
  Some to Jesus I Surrender
  And Can It Be, That I Should Earn
  Before Thee God, Who Knowest Some
  Blessed Possibility
  O Come All Ye Faithless
  Eternal Father Weak to Save
  We May Be Moved
  OK Is Your Faithfulness
  I Surrender Some
  It Is Swell With My Soul
  Backward Christian Soldiers
  Take My Life and Let Me Be
  The Lord is My Shepherd, I Always Want
  The New Hand Polished Cross (old and Rugged seemed so ... old and rugged sounding)
  There is a Bomb In Gilead
  Tis So Sweet to Trust in Me
  

For many Methodist and PCUSA Churches we included...

• She Leadeth Me
  She Lives She Lives
  She Will Hold Me Fast
  

And by popular demand, we have included a personal favorite...

• "I Did It My Way"

We even included many of the popular modern worship choruses ... and best of all, we didn't have to change the words!

PS: Thank you for your interest in the new "Modern Evangelical Hym/Hernal."
