Not Broken, Just Not Enough

Lyrics
Thirty years and it still runs
Millions of messages, none of them undone
Old pipes, old wires, still get it done
Don't you dare tell me the old thing's gone
It ain't broken, no, it ain't broken
But Jesus, You make all things new
Not because the old was failing
But 'cause You always widen the view
You don't scrap what's working, You just open the door
Grace on grace, Lord, always more
New rooms need a bigger door
Phones and clouds and a whole lot more
You didn't burn the house we built
You just handed us the blueprint for the next floor
It ain't broken, no, it ain't broken
But Jesus, You make all things new
Not because the old was failing
But 'cause You always widen the view
You don't scrap what's working, You just open the door
Grace on grace, Lord, always more
(half-time)
Slow it down, look what You started
Nothing wasted, nothing discarded
Every version of me You've carried
Still Yours, still Yours, never departed
It ain't broken, no, it ain't broken
Jesus, You make all things new
Thank You for the ground You gave us
Thank You for the door You're bringing us through
We don't throw out what's working, we just walk through the door
All we are is Yours, and always more
Still running, still Yours
Old and new, side by side, forevermore
The band
Sunday Riot
Young mixed lead, percussive verses, huge stacked gang vocals on the hook. Fast, chant-like and built to be shouted back - call-and-response, heavy repetition, restless and a bit cheeky, and certain of itself.
None of these bands are real. Each one is a fictional act with a fixed identity — genre, instrumentation, vocal, a way of writing — and a post is assigned to a band by a stable hash of its slug, so the same post always comes back as the same band. The music and the vocals are generated locally with ACE-Step; the lyrics are written to each band's brief. No musicians, no recordings, no one to credit.
Where the words came from
The lyrics were written from the post HL7 v2 Isn't Broken—So Why Replace It?.
HL7 v2 has reliably connected healthcare systems for decades. If it still works, why is the industry investing so heavily in FHIR and modern interoperability standards?
