Why d'you sing hallelujah if it means nothin' to ya?

At the risk of sounding like a complete loser, one of my favorite parts of church is the hymns. This is a problem when people are long-winded in their talks because that means the closing hymn gets "foregone" if that is indeed a word. It makes me sad. We were going to sing one of my favorite hymns this Sunday too. I went to a Damien Rice concert this weekend. He played my favorite song on the encore. It's called "The Blower's Daughter". I recommend it. His album "O" is one of my all-time favorite albums. His other album "9" has some explicit lyrics with references to sex and possibly "the f word". I didn't know this when I decided to go to his concert. All I know is that his cellist played a song she had written called "Never Leave You". Her name is Vyvienne Long. Her song definately had "the f word" in it, but I loved it. What a conflict of interest! I wonder if her album is sold "edited"...
