  1. The thing about pop songs not needing to make sense is hilariously true with regards to my fave, "I Want It That Way". That song's lyrics make zero sense but they are so catchy and get you feeling something. But worship is about lifting Jesus up. That's why it matters. It's about communicating who he is and our desire to know him!
