I am in 2 choirs and I pull together all of the music. Most of the other choir members need help getting music together so I scan in hard copies, and enlarge the music so that they can see it. Instead of scanning the books if I can find it online it will be a big help.

I am Catholic and sing in my church choir. Love this form of prayer!

We are a Catholic family band called Simply4Him who believes that music was created to glorify God and to sanctify His people. We serve in our parish and we are a part of a Catholic Charismatic Community called Couples for Christ. Our children are members of its ministries. We cannot think of another place to be in order to learn and share not just God's music but everything about our faith. This is home for us!
We would like to share with you the first album God worked on through our family. It's called 7 Steps (for the seven sacraments in contemporary style of music). Available in digital stores. God bless!

I am a singer in my choir and sometimes am asked to select songs for Mass. I could use help at times.

I'm a Singer. I want to share my good and bad experience. I can also guide people about promoting their Songs and music.
I found this helpful summary of music planning guides at the Diocese of Lafayette in Indiana. I updated some outdated links. Also see our TCS resources page here: topcatholicsongs.com/Resources

What's Left Is Beauty
1st Verse:
So we go on in this quest for answers
And hopefully do what's best by removing our spiritual cancer...
I don't know how love can't be the way
As I flow I hope you get to know me as I pray...
GOD's perfect design
Was worth the wait and time...
To be one of his children is more than one can ask for
As we build buildings and have fun that's doing a task and being more...
The way to the light may take time and patience
And we may be in for a fight against the night but it all makes-sense...
These words touch the paper with heart
But the saviour is the real creator of the true art...
The freedom to be who we want to be
From preaching to teaching to basking in his glory
May seem like a task if you don't know the story
But when I asked him about the light I realised darkness was boring
Hook:
GOD knows us better than anyone else
This track is more like a letter and I'm using my heart felt
2nd Verse:
As the road gets more and more of a bumpy-ride
I know the core of it all is nothing-but-nice
So as I must-sing on this mic
It's like I'm hustling for the light...
But truth is I'm aware and I bet you are too
If you feel blue just stare at the world and you may see something new...
I only want to be
What GOD intended from me
I'm not pretending when I say all I want to see is peace...
So as I put the mic down after a track
I look around for a good bite in town, praise GOD, he's got our backs...
The best thing about love is it's free
To rest and know a King is looking over us when we might see a dove it was all meant to be...
So paradise isn't too far away
Beyond the cameras-and-mics is where I wanna lay
And everyday until that day I will continue to pray

Spotlight on Scott Aitken (from Scott's profile posted here at Top Catholic Songs).
Scott Aitken: Producer / SingerSongwriter / Engineer / Former Frontman for Leap of Faith, Sacred Heart Production Studios.
From a 3.9 GPA at Full Sail University to a Full-fledged audio recording and production studio, Scott Aitken has run the gamut of the music industry. Whether running the sound board for Rock and Roll Hall of fame legend Dion or making on-stage appearances with world-famous Tony Melendez, Scott’s fluidity in audio-tronics has placed him at the cutting edge of sound engineering and composition. At the age of twelve, Scott’s Brother brought him a guitar, and with just a few strums on the battered instrument, Scott was hooked. At age 16 Scott had landed a recording contract, but at the age of 18 he decided his musical career would be better off in his own hands, due to the limitations of musical creativity that go along with being on a record label.
Scott then devoted himself to mastering his craft of both music and engineering. He formed the group Leap of Faith and his song...
