weary eyed

It's 7.53 in the am in cloudy Guildford, Surrey. I'm just sitting at my desk listening to the latest Hillsong United album.
I seem to be in a place where I'm questioning everything that christianity is about socially. Like the method and way that we worship in church. Why do we have to follow a set pattern of how ever many praise songs followed by however many worship songs and make sure that we have our connection with God in the time set out for us? Why can't we be in church for 4 hours in the morning and just wait for Gods Spirit to fall on the place and do its thing?
Obviously there are the evident time restrictions that some churches may have with buildings and such. But why are things done the way are done ONLY because that's how they've always been done? (If that makes sense....) Would it be so bad if we were to take church as we are told we should have it, take the spiritual elements that God tells us we should have and then ruffle some feathers?
I suppose it's not something that can change immediatly by just waking up one morning and deciding 'Right lets turn how we do church on it's head!'. Because of the nature of people something like this needs to be done over a prolonged period of time. That's why God gives visions to people and changes hearts and attitudes in an instant i spose. So that these people can deliver new visions and light up new passions.
I don't know...I'm just rambling.
I have to go play at church now.
God bless
