Eleanor Mumford on worship songs

Eleanor Mumford (yes, the mother of Mumford & Sons’ Marcus), an experienced leader in the Vineyard church reflects on what the Vineyard movement brought to worship songs – simplicity, purity, sweetness, accessibility and intimacy. She encourages song writers to return to simplicity.

Two soundbites:

“My plea to our wonderful worship leaders is that we would keep it simple, keep it pure, keep it unsullied, keep it intimate, keep it centered on Jesus, telling him how wonderful he is.”

“When we waffle around the edges of the Scripture, we lose our edge and so everything to me has to be theologically sound and doctrinally satisfying.”
