The Hymns that Keep on Going

For centuries, musicians and lyricists have been putting pen to paper in order to express ideas of faith and doctrine through music. Thousands of compositions have come and gone, enjoyed (or not) in the moment but ultimately fading away. At the same time, other musical offerings have remained part of the church vocabulary through many generations.


Why do some compositions fade away while others remain strong? The Journey's very own Bob Coote spent months exploring that question. His research was published in the March, 2011, edition of Christianity Today. A link to the article is below. Thank you, Bob, for your exploration of this question.
