Repeat and Repeat and Repeat

Tonight at church we sang "He Included Me," and here is the chorus:

"Jesus included me,

Yes, He included me,

When the Lord said 'whosoever,'

He included me.

Jesus included me,

Yes, He included me,

When the Lord said 'whosoever,'

He included me."

Now, I do understand why some people get unhappy with some modern choruses that just repeat one line over and over, but just because the copyright date on this is 1913, I can't see why it's any different than that.

Sometimes, looking through the hymnal, I see a great many that could be jettisoned without any great loss to the church. Not the great hymns, but some of the ones like this one above - there is nothing wrong with it, just nothing profound.

Worthy of more thought and more posts later.
