While the point that the author makes is true, it is also faulty. If one is singing this [worship] song, they usually have the background context about who they are singing to. When you have the implied knowledge of who "You" is it makes for a wonderful song!
"I want to know You, I want to see Your face, I want to know You more"
And any Christian who is walking their path with Christ will agree that that is the heart of every Christian out there. We should always be seeking to know more of Christ, and we should never be satisfied with our current level of relationship with Christ.
My goal of this post is not to bash the author who wrote about these songs, but to bring into the light the idea that we shouldn't try to tell others how to worship and with what songs they choose from the millions sung on Christian radio and in churches. We should be focusing on our own relationship with the Lord. We can choose what ways we wish to worship Christ in our way, but if another Christian has an experience with God while singing "Lord I Lift Your Name On High" we need not to criticize them. We should redirect our attention to the One who is deserving of not only our attention, but also all of our praise.
In conclusion, what I want to get across is the fact that we should not try and regulate what praise songs are sung to worship God. We should focus on our own relationship with Him and the way that we worship. We should be so engulfed in Christ and His presence we cannot focus on trivial things while in that time.
