The Top Catholic Songs community has been very encouraging to me.  There's not really a place for Catholic-specific artists like my band anywhere but here.  Our single,

Praise to the New Eve
b/w Against My Church the Gates of Hell Will Not Prevail

is officially out today. Though those who follow this site may have already heard and/or downloaded it.  

Another non-liturgical, Catholic song to listen to during your day.

The Catholic Church Is Good

The Catholic Church is good
The Catholic Church is good
She’s how we know we’re leading
Christian lives like we should

Food needs salt
Eyes need light

While sailing on the sea
A ship needs her captain
Just the same the Christian life
It needs to thwart sin

The Catholic Church will lead and make it happen
Will lead us to a win!

The Catholic Church is good
And the Catholic Church was first
By the laying on of hands
Christ’s authority traversed

Through all time
Down the line

“I will call you ‘Rock’
And on this rock I build my Church”

Marx said of religion, “Trash opium”
But Christ beget to Peter
The keys to the kingdom
The keys to the kingdom!

The Catholic Church is good
The Catholic Church is best
The Church preserves the culture
Of the Occident

Greece to Rome
To Washington

To those who say the secular
Can save a nation
We will say just how we got
This culture from its nascence

Two thousand years of Christianization
Evangelization!

The Catholic Church is good
The Church she takes her stand
Protecting life and marriage
And the rights of the working man

The sacred path
Of our saints

To follow Christ is
Following his commands

Give water to the thirsty (Love one another)
Visit those in jail (Love God with all your heart)
We educate the yearning (Go and make disciples)
On a massive scale (From near and far)

So, join us on this trail!

Hail Virgin, dearest Mary!
Our lovely Queen of May!
O spotless, blessed Lady,
Our lovely Queen of May.
Your children, humbly bending…

 

I just released a lyric video for an acoustic song called "What Does It Profit a Man." Truth be told, the chorus was written after the scandal of Theodore McCarrick was unveiled.

On Spotify:

Falling through the church doors is how it started

Like it was calling me to not go in half hearted...

Before long my wife took me to mass

Which is why I wanna make songs inspired from the book to wax...
 

"Praise to the New Eve" is part of a parody art project that reimagines Maoist-era Chinese Communist Party propaganda songs as Catholic anthems. The original, "Learn from Lei Feng's Good Example", encourages Chinese to look to the peasant Lei Feng as a good Communist role model while "Praise to the New Eve" encourages Catholics to honor Mary as she honors Christ. The song uses the pentatonic scale, widely used in China, for the melody but is styled as a marching band tune typical of Cultural Revolution-era music propaganda.

Lyrics:

Praise to the New Eve
We all call her blessed
Sinners everywhere send an S.O.S.
While Eve fell to Satan’s advance
To carry Our Lord, Our Lady said, “Yes”
Her heel crushed Evil’s head and now sin is suppressed!

Praise to the New Eve
We all call her blessed
Lady donned in blue, wrapped in stars, and sun-dressed
She called on Christ for she needed a Savior
So, from her conception, her amount of sin was ‘none’
Cooperate with Christ and sinners will be won!

Praise to the New Eve
We all call her blessed
Her part in the plan forced the dark to reassess
We’re proud to call her Mother Mary
See how a humble virgin was raised to a great height
Repent, get your life right, and be part of the light!

Praise to the New Eve
We all call her blessed
Known throughout the world and her name won’t evanesce
She points to Christ and reflects God’s glory
May we learn from her to know Christ and adore
May our souls magnify the Lord!

Against My Church the Gates of Hell Will Not Prevail

Runners run, fighters fight, train through many tries
Iron strikes, iron sharp as though to get the prize
If, as before, you stopped or slipped and fell
Let’s be fed by what our Lord said,
“Against my Church the gates of Hell will not prevail”

Marching feet, sounding horns, the cadence of the drum
Voices blend, a billion strong, together in a thrum
We hear that call, clear as the tower bell
Catholic pride, hold that banner high,
“Against my Church the gates of Hell will not prevail”

Movements come and they go, swift and fly-by-night
Let us strive, so we’ll thrive, as children of the light
Always take heart, if you feel unwell
Anthems raised, we stand unfazed
“Against my Church the gates of Hell will not prevail”

Belt of truth, shield of faith, don the armor of God
Helmet, sword of the Spirit, hear us shout, “Hurrah!”
Feel it as blood rushing to each cell
We shall not dread, for our Lord said,
“Against my Church the gates of Hell will not prevail”

When the Bishop of Bridgetown was appointed Archbishop of Port of Spain there was a desire to give him a gift of prayer.  That desire inspired this prayer and song...Most Holy Trinity.  That was back in 2017...it has taken us this long to be able to record and release the prayer publicly.  We hope that it will be part of your prayer on Trinity Sunday. 

Prayer to the Most Holy Trinity
Father, into Your hands, I commend my spirit, I surrender my heart,
I relinquish my will
And Father, I abandon myself, I come, to be sculpted,
let Your will be done in me
Father, I entrust you with my doubts, I cast all my cares,
You are my refuge and strength

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
Praise, glory and honour, our hope, our salvation, blessed Trinity

Jesus, Your body fills my hungry soul, Your blood quenches my inner thirst
You’ve lived to die for all my sins
Jesus, have mercy on my transgressions, accept my tears of repentance
Renew my strength to bear my cross
And Jesus, Lamb of God, You are my Shepherd, with You no evil do I fear
Blest be the power of Your name

Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Praise and glory and honour, our hope, our salvation, blessed Trinity

Holy Spirit, I invite your presence here, I welcome all your gifts
I pledge to use them all in service
Holy Spirit, bring me wisdom and enlight’nment, anoint my lips to speak Your word
Open my eyes to seek Your truth
And Holy Spirit, dwell in me, Kindle Your flame in my heart, fill me with love and compassion
Breathe new life in me

Amen
