Regarding the repeating words over and over in some of the songs....
I once heard one of our pastors say he pushes for that,,so people can be less focused on the words and join in the praise and let themselves feel the music and get into an actual worship attitude. He likened it to inviting people to come together in a type of “meditative” state before God and focus on more important things than getting the words right.
I have A.D.D. so repetition bores me to tears. When I find myself going there, I just quit singing and listen. Sometimes, it’s amazing.
‘I just quit singing and listen.’
Listening has its own lessons, doesn’t it?!
I should do that more often - rarely do!
