That chorus still sends shivers through my spine (*), even though I've 
been steering clear of contemporary Christian music the last years for a 
reason (and would certainly steer clear of the full song).

(* Hillsong are pretty good at that actually.)

It's interesting to see someone attribute the "ideals of Perfect 
Justice, Love, Understanding, Harmonious Living and Sharing" to this 
piece of music - they're not really in the lyrics, so apparently they 
must be in the music. Probably a lot of it is in how the audience sings 
it as one with all their heart.

Maybe I should skim my collection from past times for stuff that I can 
still subscribe to in some respect.

I also should revisit that song I wrote myself, about what "music is 
made for", and see if I can "de-christianize" it so I can put my 
signature under it again.
