Top Catholic Songs – share, learn, promote

NOTE: We originally published this post in May of 2017. We submitted this song to Oregon Catholic Press (ocp.org) but it was not accepted.

​Our World So Beautiful is a Christmas song co-written by Dan vi Nguyen, Richard Schletty and André van Haren. Dan posted her lyrics here and asked if anyone could make a song out of her words. Richard Schletty rewrote the lyrics to give them a consistent rhyme, line length, metrical pattern and overall poetic structure. Then Richard came up with a melody. Next, André van Haren wrote a beautiful piano arrangement based on an a cappella recording of the melody by Richard. Using Sibelius, André engraved the sheet music not only for piano and voice, but developed the song fully by adding guitar chords and two additional instruments: flute and cello. He also engraved a version of the song with optional SATB harmonies in the refrain... 

Proudly present the song, We Taste Heaven's Meal written by Dan Vi Nguyen and recorded at Diamond Garden Music.

I am planning for a family gathering at my house to celebrate Father’s Day on 06/19/2022 for our family members and relatives in the spirit of Saint Joseph, the worker.
I want to emphasize the importance of the father in the family upon the Holy Family.
Remember, among our family members, there are widows and single moms or single dads raising our children.  So be hopeful to plant the seed of fatherhood in the house upon the Holy Family.
The role of fatherhood in the family must be very important as the daddy defend the family upon Christ and the Holy Family.  In the house, mommy is driving the wave as she cares and leads everyone on the way.  But the role of the father must be recognized and appreciated by the Holy Family.

CHORUS
In heaven, I'll pray for you upon my son, Jesus Christ.
In heaven, I'll intercede for you upon my son, Jesus Christ.
Trust in me, my child.

VERSE
My honor to receive good news from Angel that my Mother Mary conceived a child.
A child who will be for mankind's salvation.
A child will bring peace to the earth.
A child will bring joy to the world.

VERSE
Good news for those who hope in heaven in Christ through Holy Water & Holy Spirit.
Christ's mission with his disciples on earthly life presents his promise of hope for mankind's salvation.
He promised to be with men, women, and children in his tabernacle in the eucharist.
He suffered on the cross to prove his obedience to his father in heaven that save us through the cross.

VERSE
Glory be to the Lord, Jesus Christ, who had risen to save us through the cross.
Now his Mother Mary is also honored in Heaven with him.
Pray for us in heaven, Mother Mary, and remember us.
Intercede for us now that you are in heaven, Mother Mary.
Pray for us my Mother Mary, intercede for us.

Song lyric, All Colors With One Wish, written by Dan Vi Nguyen.
I got inspired to write this song lyric since I had a chance to visit Washington DC, USA in 1998 when I met with politians and others at the Capital of United States of America.  I realized the vision and mission of the presidents of the country.  Until 2011 that I wrote the song lyric, All Colors With One Wish, and I wasn't expected that the song turned out so great.  

Hi Richard,

I just want to share with you my joy in regard to the song, God's Gift To All The World, that we worked together on a few years ago. I posted the song on Drooble.com.  I recently received a recognition for 200 times plays on the radio. 
 

Here is the book that I took the Catechesis 101 class.  It might be helpful to find the key points in this book Catechism of the Catholic Church.
