JD Walt, a contemporary songwriter and worship leader wrote in another article about the change someone has made to a wonderful chorus addition to the classic hymn, “When I Survey the Wonderful Cross,” that he and someone else wrote a few years back. Walt and Chris Tomlin wrote, “Oh, the wonderful Cross. Oh, the wonderful cross, bids me come and die and find that I may truly live.”
Someone wrote to Walt and scolded him for including the phrase “bids me come and die that I might truly life” and instead changed it to “You did come and die, Now I (when I sing that part, I kind of stretch the I out), I-I-I can truly live.” Walt reflects on this change and then asks a very good question, “The big question I have for worship is, "Are we stretching the God out?" In other words, who is God and what is God up to in our worship services?”
