First this:

The problem aesthetes on the one hand and theological sophisticates have on the other with Hillsong-type songs is that they are mostly not very brilliant either musically or theologically (understatement of the year!).

Online net-friend responds:

As a worship leader, I do a lot of Hillsong music at our church. They touch people’s hearts.

A funny thing with God is that he takes simple things and anoints them.

I remember wondering what exactly it was that men like Greg Laurie or Billy Graham said to inspire so many people to come forward? Then I went to a Harvest crusade and marveled at how simple the message was. The thing I understand now is that it is the Holy Spirit that anoints them to bring that message. I could get up and say the same things, and probably no one would respond. But God opens the doors and anoints where He chooses. It’s not our brilliance, but His Spirit that accomplishes the work.

Where I’m going with this is that when people have lost the Holy Spirit, they look to their own brilliance to try and make something happen. In the absence of a response, they search in their own strength for an answer.

Sure there are going to be people that don’t think the lyrics are “Brilliant enough”, there are going to be people that hate Greg Laurie and Billy Graham because they aren’t brilliant enough, but it is God that anoints and raises up, not for our brilliance, but for His glory.

I see nothing wrong theologically with Hillsong music, and it is certainly played by very competent musicians, but I suppose that if the lyrics are just not brilliant enough for certain people, it may be more of an indication of a heart problem with the hearer.

Granted there are different styles to choose from, and if the only issue were personal preference of style, then choose another style and go on. But comments like these make me wonder what exactly you might be searching for.
