Remembrance of God’s mighty deeds is often referred to in the lyrics of traditional and contemporary songs. The problem is that God’s overall work in history is ignored. His mighty deeds for world redemption are individualized. There is very little awareness in [some worship] music that God does more than save me. The theme of connecting creation with incarnation that leads to re-creation is simply lacking. Therefore, even though our worship is conscious of remembrance, it is a truncated content. It does not span all of history and reach into the believer’s anticipation of not only his or her salvation but the salvation of the whole world. — Robert Webber, Ancient-Future Worship: Proclaiming and Enacting God’s Narrative (Grand Rapids: Baker Books, 2008), 90.
