Ha, Honestly in all those old megachurches songs, I don't find any appeal neither. Even if they don't tell heresy (as many of them try to avoid theological matters and stay on simple safe repetitions), and even if they just sing verses.
How come? Because for the way these songs are delivered.
We no longer care about the sources. What is the point of sing verses with our mouths and do the opposite with our actions? Really. Highly persuasive emotional states can be builded on with musical notes an rythms. And Christians confuse this hard emotions with God presence.
''Only those who possess the Name of Jesus Christ truly "know" what the name is and all that it represents. Not all who speak of the Name, have the name "written" within them. Men’s lips are often far far from their heart. '' L.Ray Smith

A word about Arcturus post on this issue
What you wrote was beautiful poetry and I believe in your describing how you cannot of your own will praise God you in fact wrote a Psalm. I think it worthy to note that in your effort to humble yourself in written words you wound up praising God in a beautiful poem.
just worth noting :)
