Perfect blend of old <strong>and</strong> new “Adoraton” by Matt Maher Our faith holds such a treasury of texts that have been set to music. As the young Church discovers these texts, their enthusiasm sparks new musical expressions. That is what Matt Maher has done here with St. Thomas Aquinas’s “Tantum Ergo.” He has maintained the melody to the English translation <strong>and</strong> added a contemporary worship chorus, resulting in a perfect blend of old <strong>and</strong> new that appeals to all ages. Suited for worship of the Blessed Sacrament outside of Mass, “Adoration” can also be used during the communion rite. —Robert Feduccia, General Manager, spirit<strong>and</strong>song.com Downloadable <strong>Accompaniment</strong> Package [<strong>Keyboard</strong>, <strong>Guitar</strong>, Solo Instrument (C, Bb, Eb), Drum Set, Unison, Three Part] (89545) $6.50 ocp.org/89545 Find it in… p. 15 p. 46 p. 97 p. 100 Welcomes all into the Lord’s embrace “Come to Jesus” by Josh Blakesley & Sarah Hart Many of the songs on Josh’s CD, Waiting, have become popular, but “Come to Jesus” holds a unique place. Upon using it as the entrance song at a Mass, the archbishop repeatedly referred back to the song <strong>and</strong> the invitation it holds for all: to enter into the embrace of the Lord regardless of our circumstances. Contemporary, reflective <strong>and</strong> reverent, this song is also ideal for the preparation of the gifts <strong>and</strong> altar, as well as during the communion rite. —Robert Feduccia, General Manager, spirit<strong>and</strong>song.com Octavo [<strong>Keyboard</strong>, <strong>Guitar</strong>, SATB] (20586) $2.00; Downloadable <strong>Accompaniment</strong> Package [<strong>Keyboard</strong>, <strong>Guitar</strong>, Solo Instrument (C, Bb), Drum Set, SATB] (89167) $4.75 ocp.org/20586 Find it in… p. 15 p. 93 p. 100 Illuminates Christ’s sacrifice SONGS FOR YOUR MINISTRY “Endless Is Your Love” by Tom Kendzia Pondering God’s immense love for us, Psalm 139 comes alive with a beautiful melody that goes straight to the heart. Especially appropriate for weddings <strong>and</strong> funerals, this moving song can also be used during the preparation of the gifts, as a communion processional or as a song of praise after communion. The phrase, “How vast the sum of all your deeds!” illuminates the profound gift of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice <strong>and</strong> victory over death celebrated at every Eucharist. —Barbara Bridge, Associate Director, Liturgical Resources Octavo [Piano, <strong>Guitar</strong>, Cantor, SATB] (20433) $2.00 Downloadable Octavo [Piano, <strong>Guitar</strong>, Cantor, SATB] (88814) $2.00 ocp.org/20433 Find it in… p. 6 p. 8 p. 70 Joyful profession of hope “El Que Cree en Mí” by Eleazar Cortés The refrain, based on the antiphon to accompany the procession during the Ritual for Christian Burial, is joyfully rendered in this interpretation of hopeful texts that profess life after death. I have used it numerous times at funerals <strong>and</strong> graveside rituals <strong>and</strong> witnessed folks make the prayer their own, to the point of singing the simple harmonies unrehearsed! It also works well in liturgical celebrations that call for themes of faith, hope <strong>and</strong> resurrection, particularly during the Easter season. —Pedro Rubalcava, Director of Hispanic Ministries Downloadable <strong>Guitar</strong> <strong>Accompaniment</strong> [<strong>Guitar</strong>, Two-part] (30106050) $1.75 Downloadable <strong>Keyboard</strong> <strong>Accompaniment</strong> [<strong>Keyboard</strong>, Two-part] (30106049) $2.25 ocp.org/30106050 Find it in… p. 10 p. 12 p. 42 p. 83 1-800-LITURGY (548-8749) | ocp.org | Facebook.com/<strong>OCP</strong>music | 55
