[Mins] My stereos Godhead

[WPGadsby]

Dear All,

 

Recently, I was preaching in a CRCA congregation (not Canberra), and we sang
the hymn, "  Father of heav'n, whose love profound" (BoW, #194). When we got
to verse 4 on the screen, the congregation dutifully sang the following
words:

Jehovah, Father, Spirit, Son,

my stereos Godhead, Three in One:

before Your throne we sinners bend;

grace, pardon, life, to us extend.

 

"My stereos Godhead"? Was this some reference to the imponderable truth of
the Trinity? Or more down to earth, the believer's decision to play only
God-honouring songs on his stereo? Well, no.

 

This is how the words appear in the Help File prepared in 1999, "based on
the Word versions entered by Bill de Hann." I wonder how many of our people
are singing these meaningless words? The printed Book of Worship has them
right: ".mysterious Godhead, Three in One."
