Worship music was more than just a change in terminology from hymns. The content of lyrics and music took on many popular musical idioms and often personalized the message of the songs to focus on a deeper worship experience and intimacy with God. This chapter takes a closer look at the characteristics of each decade leading up to today's contemporary worship music.
