Congregational Singing

Well it does to the people who post here... dispassionate and reasoned debate, with a good deal of humour thrown in for good measure.

Southern Comfort wrote:Christ be our light (including the heretical last line of verse 5 :shock: )

'Making your kingdom come'. Quite so, we can't make God do what we want - and the coming of his Kingdom is in his time and by his power. We can however make the ground ready. If you alter the last two lines to read 'May we be servants to one another, Letting your kingdom come', orthodoxy is preserved.

I encourage people to sing 'May we be servants to one another, helping your kingdom come', which I think is reasonably close to the spirit of the original without venturing too far into Pelagianism.
