What’s qualifies as a worship song?

Joel Lee, on his blog Wayward Now Home, contrasts the Biblical definition of worship with the modern definition of worship seems to be influencing many churches today.

Joel writes:

“In a previous post, I gave a definition of Biblical worship that contrasts with the modern definition of worship in most churches. And although worship is not primarily about music, corporate worship can involve music. There’s no problem with using music as a medium of worship towards God during a church service (or even outside of a church service). The Biblical basis for music as a form of worship comes from the Psalms.

So what qualifies as an acceptable corporate worship song? I define a corporate worship song as “a song that is directed from the congregation, in Christ and the Holy Spirit, towards God, with clarity, where the primary objective is to lift Him up in praise and give Him all the glory.”

Any thoughts on that definition? Have one of your own to share?
