The longevity of a worship song in a congregation is directly proportional to its theological depth.
- “Marshmallow” Songs: Shallow, repetitive, and easy to consume, but they lack substance and quickly become tiring or forgotten.
- “T-Bone Steak” Songs: Theologically dense and rich in doctrine; these songs require more “chewing” (meditation) and thus have a much longer shelf life because they offer continuous content for the believer to encounter.
Selecting songs with deep doctrinal weight ensures a repertoire that sustains spiritual growth over many years.
