Norton Hall Band

Found this group today under the Southern Seminary youtube. They do a lot of hymn covers in contemporary style, which is part of why I believe we could bring hymns back into modern worship. culturally, we tossed out the baby with the bathwater. Organs (which I love - thanks Dad!) may not fit a more modern worship aesthetic (which is a shame because they are WONDERFUL), but a chunk of hymns were nothing more than new lyrics for popular bar songs at the time. We swap out the music again and they're current.
Examples:
How Firm a Foundation
There is a Fountain Filled with Blood
My Hope is Built on Nothing Less
Be Thou My Vision
Come Thou Fount
He Will Hold Me Fast

It looks like they have other groups up through the seminary too.
