    Thanks!

    I remember the pink songbook. We seemed to stay in the brown one for almost 30 years. It’s amazing the new songbook had such an incredibly short halflife.

    There's something wrong with a "God" or parent that expects their children to sing their praises 24/7.

    Seems that about 16 'old' songs have been removed? (More 'new' new songs?, or title changes of old songs?)

    Some minor one or two line changes in some songs?

    Some completely re-written?

    haha - that's the 1984 brown song book

    Song 168: Recognizing Earth’s New King

    Kiss the Son, lest God be angry
    And you perish in the way.
    Happy are all they that put
    Their trust in him today!

    I hope the molested bees are back.....

    Oh and the cheerful melody about "L-a-a-a-a-a-zarus lay sle-e-e-e-e-e-ping...in a cold stone grave...."

    Some have been completely re-written
    Compare 5 with 13
    Compare 15 with 11

    Some have had quite a few single words changed
    Compare 1 with 1

    Some have line changes
    Compare 86 with 137
    "Loyalty, courage, goodness, loving-kindness" becomes "Goodness and courage, loyal love and kindness"


    If you're interested - probably not - the table below may help you compare etc (IF the forum formats it correctly) - sorry it seems the borders have been removed and the color coding I added have been removed - oh well, hopefully still kinda readable.....
