Steve, I appreciate your comment. I tried to do a balanced presentation here of original "unsigned" music by independent Catholic music composers alongside established music published in major Catholic hymnals. Let's just say that licensing is COMPLICATED! Composers do deserve to get royalties. I do want to make my just contribution to those composers whose music I have sung at church for so many years. It's just that I have not figured out how to monetize this site. I really don't want to do...
Your may not have received any funds through creating this support network, Richard, but your ministry here through this website is highly valued! God bless, Steve
Song Lyric: TABLE OF THE KING
12/02/2018
By: Dan Vi Nguyen
CHORUS
Come, come to the table of the king
Come, come to the table of the king
VERSE
Come to the table of the king
We all share the food and water we have
In thankful for God provides us with breads
CHORUS
Come, come to the table of the king
Come, come to the table of the king
VERSE
Come to the table of the king
We offer thankful for his meals
To nourish our body mind and spiritual life
CHORUS...

There is a history behind the song lyric "Table of the King" from Blessed Gamilin Emilie that you can read about it on wiki linked above.
Hi Richard:
Will you co-write the song with me and write lead sheet for the song.
I really like this song to have a lead sheet for the song lyric, so that we can sing it at the associate members meeting.
Well, really great vocals and a very able audio tech/mixer. This Top Catholic Songs site was run by others from 2007 to late 2013. The early emphasis was promoting songs written by a select group of performing artists – all members of the Catholic Association of Music (founded by John Michael Talbot). I took over TCS in January of 2014, cleaned up the spam and outdated Drupal modules, and expanded the mission of the site to embrace the entire range of Catholic music old to new – simple...
Thanks again, Richard, for your encouragement. They are my vocals (albeit a good few years back) in an audio-savvy friends bedroom!
How have I only discovered this site recently? What a great idea to share music and experience of faith! Hope you’re well and singing on!
God bless,
Steve (Surrey, UK).
The whole video was really really great Richard. When I find some time I would like to do some more writing. At my local library there is a ton of books on how to write songs. I would like to step outside the hip hop structure and teach myself other ways to write different genres which I may have mentioned to you a while ago. Hope you are doing well. All the best. Alex.
Alex: And all the best to you and your wife. Thanks for telling me about your listening session after mass. You inspired me – we are both smiling. Drop back in when you get some time and inclination. I'll leave the pot of coffee on.
Steve, this is absolutely stunning as far as being "in and with Christ" and top drawer as far as production. Is that you singing? I am in awe of your group's ability to create beautiful, inspiring music.
What a great idea to have a songwriters forum such as the MAS. Haven’t seen any similar opportunities here in the UK. You sing with a lot of passion and conviction, Richard, and I went to listen for a couple of minutes before realising I was watching the YouTube clips for over half an hour! Very well done indeed.
‘Every blessing.
Dear Richard,
Thank you so much for your feedback and kind words of encouragement. Very much appreciated!
Very happy to supply the sheet music for the song - different versions available here for anyone to use.
Thanks again, My prayers go with you.
Steve
Hello! I graduated from Poveda Learning Centre (class of 1980), originally called Institucion Teresiana in Manila Philippines. We had annual Marian song competitions and I am told this version, which Povedans call "As the Rain Rushes Down" was composed by an earlier class. I think it has one verse as Maria sings it.
Hi Richard,
Yesterday when my wife and I got back from church I checked in on this site for the first time in quite a while and saw the link you posted. We watched it together and it was a great line up of tracks and it was pretty cool to see our two at the end. Well done and thanks for using a couple of ours. Hope you have been well and I plan to come back to this site a bit more often, just life has been messy lately...
Hi, Alex. Good to hear from you. Did you see the YouTube of my half-hour show which includes two of our song collaborations?

This song is also an inspiration from being an associate member of Sisters of Providence with the mission of Blessed Gamelin Emilly "Table of the King."
Pictures of Blessed Gamelin Emilly at Portland Providence Health & Services, Portland, OR, USA.
Lately, I have to take my daddy to the Providence hospital for medical reasons. They always take pulse of his heart beat for each visit. I realize that it is very important that we all start with heart beat.
I don't have melogy for this song yet.
I try to write the song lyric with 8 counts and 4 beats.
And also the chorus repeats 2 times or 4 times.
It is difficult to write 8 words per line for 8 counts, because English is my second languages.
Maybe Richard can co-write the song for better lyric of the song.
I am glad you saw this post with our song "Our World So Beautiful." I was hoping you would. You have inspired several good songs and I thank you for that. Let's keep collaborating!
Dan, thanks for sharing your song about the sanctity of life from the moment of conception. We must all respeact human heart beats – even the tiniest ones!

I train a church choir for the last few years and I’m a cantor as well. I love listening to hymns and religious songs from all denominations, though I am a Roman Catholic. I really want to find new and easy to sing hymns for our congregation. I’m especially interested in new liturgical hymns for Mass.

Just as our bodies need food and water to sustain its self; our spirit requires the same. It is very HARD/DIFFICULT to find dedicated Catholic music stations. I do listen to a lot of Christian music, but if I could find and support a Catholic station, I do so lovingly as I try to promote the Church Jesus created.

I am Catholic and I love listening to and promoting Catholic artists. I have gone to many Christian festivals and I am aware of the small percent of Catholic artists that get a fair chance at commercial success. I realize there are many talented and inspiring Catholic artists and I look forward to finding them and listening to them. Thank you CME radio.

I'm a Roman Catholic interested in renewing my faith and relationship with God through His Son and our Lord, Jesus Christ. I love music too, mass worship music especially. And as it's been said, whoever sings prays twice(St. Augustine). I hope the worship songs can add spiritual value to my stated journey. The peace of the Lamb of God, who died a shameful and horrible death on the Cross of Calvary for our salvation, be with you.
