The song has been used in the Papal masses. Written in 1981, the lyrics are based on Isaiah 6:8 and 1 Samuel 3. Prolific Dan Schutte also wrote this well-loved song. That schoolgirl saved “I Am the Bread of Life,” one of the most popular Catholic hymns of the Second Vatican Council era. “And this little girl came out of the infirmary and said, ‘What was that? That was beautiful!’ I went right back and Scotch-taped it up.” I thought, ‘This will not do,’ ” Toolan said. With the deadline looming, she worked on a song in an unoccupied room next to the infirmary in the Catholic girls’ high school where she taught. Suzanne Toolan had been asked to write a song for the San Francisco archdiocese event. Written by Sister Suzanne Toolan, this Communion song almost didn’t come to be. Written by Matt Maher, this Catholic hymn’s opening lyrics are:Įxcept for the Lord? 44) I Am The Bread Of Life But, these are the top 50 songs that we think belong in the Hall of Fame. There are lots of Catholic hymns and church songs to choose from, and the list keeps expanding. Ultimately, it came down to the favorite songs we liked. Some may not be Catholic in origin, and some might not have had any religious affiliation, e.g., the tune to “Sons of God” was an old German beer drinking song.

It had to be a pretty good one if it’s a seasonal song – like for Advent, Christmas, or Easter.

And, really, any lover of religious music will find it enjoyable. ![]() I want to be closer to God.ġ.) As the song ends, I am filled with peace and joy after my time talking with God.Ģ.)
