Written by Matt Maher, this Catholic hymn’s opening lyrics are:Įxcept for the Lord? 44) I Am The Bread Of Life But, these are the top 50 songs that we think belong in the Hall of Fame. There are lots of Catholic hymns and church songs to choose from, and the list keeps expanding. Ultimately, it came down to the favorite songs we liked.
Some may not be Catholic in origin, and some might not have had any religious affiliation, e.g., the tune to “Sons of God” was an old German beer drinking song. The origin of many of these great Catholic hymns goes way back. And, I suspect that the songs sang in Missouri was similar to those sung in New York and California. Still, we tried to include some of the most popular Catholic church songs from more recent years. Having grown up in the ’60s and ’70s in the midwest of the United States, I think it’s fair to say there’s a significant bias to songs featured in that era and my geographical area. It was more difficult for seasonal songs to make our list. Kind of like it’s harder for a designated hitter in baseball to make the Hall of Fame because DH’s don’t play defense. It had to be a pretty good one if it’s a seasonal song – like for Advent, Christmas, or Easter. In establishing our criteria, we considered many things, and upfront, we should clarify a few points. This list is very subjective, needless to say. And, really, any lover of religious music will find it enjoyable.
Our collection of great Catholic songs will have all you parochial school products, former altar boys, and uniform wearers humming along.
