I wonder why you included "We Are Not as Strong As We Think We Are" as a worship song? Is it commonly sung in your worship community? Rich alternately described it as a "Christian breakup song" and "the most honest love song I could write." I suppose you could make any love song over into a worship song when sung in a context of worship. . . but it is clearly not exclusively a song directed to God. In this song, I assume God would not be part of the "we" that is not as strong, etc. God is addressed only in third person in this song. "It took the hand of God almighty" and "The Master said their faith was gonna make them mountains move." Just interested in your thoughts. Interesting list!

You brought up lots that I didn't even think of but totally agree with (Arvo Part, "On Jordan’s Stormy Banks," Gershwin, etc). It's true that these lists could change day to day. Interesting that some songs endure though. p.s. How are you doing? Great list!
