Its funny you bring this topic up. I was just talking about this with my bro in law on my drive back to the airport from Texas. he and his band took the top 10 songs for one of his biblestudies with the group. And they just studied the structure and the wording of the songs. you'll find they seem to have the same similar concepts. Now they could very easily mimic what is being done and create a few top worship songs and live off of the CCLI money. But thankfully thats why there aren't making music. But do a study on the top 10 and see what you find.
