It kinda baffles me when people say that worship songs should not be about our emotions, thoughts, feelings at all, (and ONLY about God being big and awesome) cuz like.....
The Psalms were used in temple worship and many of them are about feeling discouraged and oppressed while looking to God for rescue
And not ONLY are many of the Psalms, which were used in worship, a wealth of human emotions. Some of them say stuff like "God, where are you? I feel like you've left me to die"
And I don't know about you, but imagine the outrage there would be if modern CCM put out a song like that
