I don’t have much commentary on this one, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t link to it. Worship Matters has a fascinating post on spontaneous worship songs. Here’s a little taste:

For many years I’ve sung spontaneous songs during corporate worship that I believe are a form of prophecy. They’re similar to a spoken prophetic impression from the Lord, only they’re sung, they rhyme, and they are often sung “from God to us.” I’ve never believed for a moment that the words I sing are “word for word” from God. That’s called Scripture. But these songs seem to consistently communicate in verse the Lord’s heart for a particular individual, group, or situation.

The idea intrigues me a lot. Any thoughts?
