It's like the "good old days" when brothers & sisters wrote songs by the dozens based on their experience of Christ & the church-life. Some songs were good for one session & passed into oblivion; others lasted for decades as a source of joy & encouragement.
"The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth"

I have long thought the music that comes from saints enjoying God's life together is a way of tracing the move of the Spirit. The songs from Luther, and the Wesleys, and the brethren, etc. seemed to sweeten the operation of His hand.

You guys are gonna burn in hell. You're only allowed to use a piano to accompany singing (I'm sure that's in the bible somewhere...).
