37th Day of Easter - Evolution of Worship Music

David Wesley describes himself as a “self-producing artist creating multi-track magic in [his] basement to share the gospel and have a little fun on the side :)”

I’d say he achieves those goals with this medley he calls The Evolution of Worship Music.

I love his little touches...burdens are LIFTED at Calvary..the lighter held aloft during “Pass It On.”

Speaking of “Burdens Lifted at Calvary,” that is the only song up until the 1990s that I don’t know very well.

I can sing multiple verses of all the other songs until the mid-90s, then I can barely hum along. I’ve spent the last 15 years in a church that sings almost exclusively from the hymnal, so I’m sorry that I may have missed some very good songs. I wonder if churches still sing many songs written over a dozen years ago? It seems that we sing songs composed in the last decade, or we jump back a century or two. Nothing sounds as dated as the worship music of people half a generation older than us, does it?

Either way, enjoy this talent and heart of this charming young man.
