Lyrics Gone

I've spent many hours behind a sound board, and nearly as many behind a computer running everything that appears onscreen during various church events. Anyone with similar experiences will likely appreciate this:

Say what you will about hymnals, they never went blank in the middle of a song. In between verses you never looked down and realized there were suddenly no words on the page. But that happens to worship songs sometimes.

Don't miss some of the great comments. Via my pastor from college, Aaron Telecky (on Facebook).

(Of course, in my family the above quote isn't exactly true. It was fairly common to look down at your hymnal and find that someone next to you had  just flipped it closed.)
