Bilingual Church!?!?!

So today was a great day at church like always and then something strange happened. Ok for a bit of insight, I go to a very large church. It has 3 services and is a very large building. They have even started a Spanish service for the large number of Spanish speaking families that are going now. I think this is an AWESOME idea.
Ok back on today at church, So, I am singing worship songs to God. They project the lyrics on the large screens in the front so all can sing along if they want to. well, all of a sudden, with eyes closed and worshiping, I got very confused by the chorus of the song we were singing. I could not believe I had gotten so caught up in worship that I did not know they changed songs. Well they didn’t, They had started singing the song in Spanish in the middle of the song, this was no accident or anything like that. This was a song we normally song on Sundays and they just decided to sing part of it in a different language. I understand that Gods word is Gods word in ALL languages but is it wrong of me to not appreciate the Spanish part of the song? I mean am I being closed minded by thinking that If I wanted to sing this song in Spanish then I would of gone to the Spanish Church service. Maybe its wrong of me to feel this way. Maybe there was someone in Church today who heard that one part in Spanish and it really spoke to them. I just did not like it I guess. I just hate to sound like a bigot or something but I feel if someone lives in ANY country they should speak their language. I don’t think there is an issue with the separate service because since I can’t speak Spanish I wont be going but also why take part of my worship and change it to a language I do not understand?
You tell me… Am I wrong for being taken back by this?
