[edit] criticism?

Some criticize his lyrics as a dumbing-down of traditional Christian song lyrics. [1] Any more info available?

Alternatively, you could say that he was making them more accessible. Try asking someone who does signing for the deaf whether they prefer Kendrick or Wesley. For example, how would you sign "...consubstantial, co-eternal, while unending ages run" for a completely deaf person? (And yes, I know it's probably not Wesley - 'twas the first one that came to mind!)

what way would you prefer to say 'consubstantial' to make it more accessible? the question isn't accessibility, it's leaving out the 'hard bits' and pretending it doesn't matter. 70.81.97.63 (talk) 19:10, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
