Brother Adam Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I've only heard of Come now is the time to Worship, and Amazing God. I think both are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dairygirl4u2c Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I remember I am the bread of life from my catholic days. That's about as catholic as you can get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Conquers Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Those are good songs.... We want to see Jesus lifted high is pretty hardcore though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasJis Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I'm not sure about the last one. I am the Bread of Life is good during communion. Trading my Sorrows is for the end of Mass. I don't really care too much for Amazing God. It seems so Protestant to me (it just kinda lacks theology that relates to the Mass), but we sing it once in a while at the beginning of Mass.

cmotherofpirl Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 We would sing none of those songs in my Church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam42 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 How about Stabat Mater -- English or Latin All Creatures of Our God and King Faith of our Fathers Holy, Holy, Holy Hail Holy Queen Enthroned Above O Cross of Christ, Immortal Tree Te Lucis Ante Terminum Salve Regina Sing of Mary Immaculate Mary Some of these songs are not appropriate for Lent. Since you didn't give a timeframe, I included some that were and some that were not. I hope those give some ideas. Cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rufiokicks Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I like 'em. My church is starting a youth mass too actually. We're not making it teens only or anything, but it was a unanimous decision at my parish that the youth needed something like that. We run the music, we're the altar servers and greeters, we're the lectors; we pretty much do everything except the homily. It's so exciting. My parish seems to really enjoy "I Could Sing of Your Love Forever." The first time we sang it was at the end of mass and no one left until the song was over, that never happens. It was awesome. As much as I love the traditional hymns, I think that my parish really needs something more contemporary every once in a while. Oh right, back to the topic, I like the songs. Good choice.

jasJis Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Again. It's only good for Youth Masses. A parish should never abandon the Traditional hymns and liturgy for the exception. The 10:30 Mass on Sundays, as most masses, use the standards. Parishioners who don't enjoy the newer songs should always have the alternative.

God Conquers Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Agreed, spice stuff up a bit. Make it interesting. Or rock out some of the old hymns.... Lift High The Cross, How Great Thou Art etc.... you can do some good stuff withem without being stuffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
