Modified Worship Songs for the Avid Smart Phone User

When in an sanctuary of 4,000 people, you notice some interesting things while people worship around you (the only reason I was looking around and not worshiping was so that I could see how I could pray for people when I go home). For example, the lady in front of me went from texting on her phone, to hands up, jumping and singing, to texting again, all in the span of 3.9 seconds. It got me wondering how anyone could worship without feeling any degree of conviction. I mean, how do you sing that God is your everything while you are going for the high score on Bejeweled or cranking out emails? Sure we could ask that she put her phone away and actually try to put in practice what she is singing, but I have a better idea.

Let's just change the lyrics of our worship songs to accommodate our cellular phone addictions! Without further ado, I present to you Modified Worship Songs for the Avid Smart Phone User.

I will demonstrate how this works with the song "Everything" by Tim Hughes


God in my living, there in my breathing 
Except when I'm texting, or checking my Facebook
God in my resting, God in my working
Posting a tweet now, #worshiprocks  #godissogood  #icanfeelthespirit
 
Be my everything, be my everything 
(30 seconds of silence to get caught up on text messages)  
Be my everything, be my everything


There you go my friends. Just another way Bald Wisdom is making Christianity easier!

  1. I have to admit that flush strong is my favorite so far, but this is my second. Good one, Ryan. Maybe we should leave cell phones at the door when we come in to church? Or you could make everyone dance, then it's impossible to use your phone.
