Musical Mass Gripes

Today we had our annual Scout Mass at my parish. It’s a bit crowded, but it is only once a year. It came complete with chilren’s choir.

Well, the children were great, but every single song they had to sing was one of those self-congratulatory songs that I refuse to sing when they come up. Here is what we had to sing:

Gather Us In
We Are the Light of the World
One Bread, One Body
They Will Know We Are Christians by Our Love

What does this say to the children who could be using this experience to praise God?
