Especially with contemporary Christian music you’ll find on the radio, where it’s just the word Jesus followed by the same 3 chords and the same style of singing no matter the band.
Maybe all of these bands are actually just the same 5 people writing under different names…
Accurate for some Baptist churches too. 
I have heard contemporary Christian music called 7-11 music.
7 verses repeated 11 times.
7-11’s are American convenience stores.

Handel is repetitive in the Hallelujah Chorus, and still uses a prime number (if I counted correctly), but it’s neither 7 nor 11.
We actually had that happen at our previous church with the adult Sunday school class, which makes sense when you realize that what we frequently did there was to watch a video study series from Ligonier.
Warning … Calculus joke ahead…
Looks like God is integrating the eastern half of the U.S. today.

We live below the NEBR coefficient 
and got only .60 overnight, thankfully. Some fireworks, though, but not too serious, and I thought maybe some small hail, but I think it was actually just wet leaves coming down in the wind and their staccato hitting the house.
Had to stare at that one for a bit before I realized what was going on. I “can’t believe” how long it took me to get it!
I’m just not sure whether to believe that.
So you spend a lot of time at the “Agnostic Cafe” do you?
