Since he penned those words in 1961, there has been an explosion of musical and lyrical creativity in churches across the United Kingdom. From encountering God in house churches to declaring His praise in Stadiums, contemporary worship has transformed the British Church and spread across the world. Les Moir had a front row seat for much of this time.
