Praise is very important in worship services. It’s not good to think that anything is acceptable.
Firstly, praise should be devoted to the LORD. It is not something we sing for ourselves or to enjoy ourselves. The object is the LORD and we devote our heartfelt thanks and praising songs to our savior. It is something to give glory to the LORD and please the LORD.
Secondly, it should be something we feel the holiness of the LORD. We may feel different from person to person, but it’s not something to conform to worldly music rhythm and pattern. It should not make wide variety of generation feel uneasy.
Thirdly, the contents of praise should follow the word the LORD. There are something ambiguous which are not different to worldly love songs. Its contents should be based on the word of God.
Praise and clothe tend to be easily compromised. It is all right that ideas differ from church to church but let us go with this concept.

I will praise the Lord all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
