The song Shine Jesus Shine is also considered by many Anglo-Catholic Ministers and people to be 'the lowest ebb of hymnody' . If this POV statement cannot be sourced it should be deleted. I have extensive experience of the contemporary worship movement and, whilst this song has received criticism (mostly due to its historic popularity), I have never heard it described in these terms. Whilst the quality of any song involves a degree of subjectivity, I believe that any expert in this field would say that there are numerous works that are of far lower quality. I would add that this statement was added by an unregistered user and so I can't easily contact them. If it's not made verifiable within a few days, it's going. Sidefall 23:07, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
