Repost: Great Songs of Me and Honest Hymns

Great Songs of MeA few years ago, for a sermon, I came up with a list of hymns for the egotist. Here are some of the ones I thought of:

  • How Great I Art
  • Now I Lift My Name on High
  • I Exalt Me
  • I Need Me Every Hour
  • I Love Me Lord
  • Just As I Want
  • Just a Little Talk With Myself
  • O, To Be Like Me
  • Praise Me! Praise Me!
  • There is None Like Me
  • Let Me Have My Way With Me
  • Have Mine Own Way

This of course plays off of an old list of “honest songs” that has made it around the Internet:

  • A Comfy Mattress Is Our God
  • Above Average is Thy Faithfulness
  • All Hail the Influence of Jesus’ Name
  • Amazing Grace, How Interesting the Sound
  • Be Thou My Hobby
  • Blessed Hunch
  • Blest Be the Tie That Doesn’t Cramp My Style
  • Fill My Spoon, Lord
  • Go Tell It on the Speed Bump
  • God of Taste, and God of Stories
  • He’s Quite a Bit to Me
  • I Lay My Inappropriate Behavior on Jesus
  • I Love to Talk About Telling the Story
  • I Surrender Some
  • I’m Fairly Certain That My Redeemer Lives
  • It Is My Secret What God Can Do
  • Joyful, Joyful, We Kinda Like Thee
  • Just As I Pretend to Be
  • Lift Every Voice and Intellectualize
  • My Faith Looks Around for Thee
  • My Hope is Built on Nothing Much
  • O, God, Our Enabler in Ages Past
  • Oh, for a Couple of Tongues to Sing
  • Oh, How I Like Jesus
  • Pillow of Ages, Fluffed for Me
  • Praise God From Whom All Affirmations Flow
  • Self-Esteem to the World! The Lord is Come
  • Sit Up, Sit Up for Jesus
  • Special, Special, Special
  • Spirit of the Living God, Fall Somewhere Near Me
  • Stick Nearby, It’s Getting Dark Outside
  • Sweet Five Minutes of Prayer
  • Take My Life and Let Me Be
  • There Is Scattered Cloudiness in My Soul Today
  • There Shall Be Sprinkles of Blessings
  • We Are Milling Around in the Light of God
  • We Give Thee but Still Think We Own
  • What an Acquaintance We Have in Jesus
  • When Peace, Like a Trickle
  • When the Saints Go Sneaking In
  • Where He Leads Me, I Will Consider Following

    You forgot “All of Self and None of Thee.” You just start with stanza 4 and sing it all backwards.
