Do old hymnals contain a lost message?

Intrigued – I stopped and went to pick it up. This is not really like me – but for some unknown reason I felt compelled to go and get that book.
After pulling over I got out and walked over to the book, picked it up and found it to be an Old hymnal.
This got me to thinking about the many messages hidden in the hymnal – Are they still relevant or just old like the tires in the picture above?
Could it be that the Gospel has changed? Or is it something else.
Why don’t people continue to to sing these hymns? It is as if the message is no longer relevant – Have we, the church, lost something so important in our misguided attempt to be contemporary, relevant, and progressive?
I then kicked over the radio – and heard David Crowder singing “All Creatures of Your God and King” – I at once thought about how the Bible speaks and says “Even the Rocks will cry out…” Here on this paper – in this book I can hear a Tree Extolling God’s Glory.
I really wish we had more like the David Crowder Band because the messages contained in this old book – thrown out into the corn field on Miami Trace Road in Fayette County has something more than just a Treble Clef and a few notes – Contained within are the Joyous words of a Christian Heritage Glorifying the same God who was the same Yesteryear – as He is Today as He will Forever be.
