lutheranhymnsWhy do people dislike this song?
I have no idea, but some people in my choir apparently do. Is it too cheesy? Too modern? Too specific in its references to 20th-century society? (No.)
Does it have a Biblical basis?
Actually yes! It's based on one of the later praise Psalms in which the Psalmists asks everything and everyone in creation to praise the Lord.
What was the occasion?
It was written for St. Olaf College in Minnesota (where my mom went!) and the references to snowstorms and stuff...explain a lot about St. Olaf, to be honest, as well as about this song.
