This is a beautiful write up and I agree completely with you and Matt Redman. I notice that it’s songs with the greatest use of Scripture that really get me in the Spirit and worshipping God with love and power. As the Scripture says God is a Spirit and He must be worshipped in Spirit and Truth (John 4:24). The Word is Truth (John 17:17) and without proper use of the Word the songs lack power.
One of my favorite artists is Paul Wilbur. The album “Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem” and “The Watchman” have powerful lyrics that connect worship with God’s Word. They to me are a great example of what worship can be.
