Dear brothers and sisters,
I kinda need to make this a "quick" post because I have some studying that I need to get back to (break is over, LOL).
Anyway, I am wondering if y'all could help me find the names of some Contemporary Christian songs that would be great for the season of Lent. Now, I can understand that is a bit hard to just "google" that because most CC artists tend to be in or leaning towards the American Evangelical movement. However after growing up listening to Christian radio, I am convinced that many of these same artists sing beautifully (and perhaps unwittingly) about many central doctrines of the Catholic Faith, and so I am hoping to find some songs that reflect that....phenomenon.
It doesn't neccesarily have to be CC music either. I just tend to prefer that.
BTW, there is a TON of awesome CC music for Pascha/Easter. However I am trying to refrain from singing any Paschal songs until 4:00 PM Holy Saturday.
I love to listen to CC music while I do my studies at home. So, do any of y'all have any good picks on some CC music that I can "jam" to while studying the fundamentals of human language structure?
This is also a very important season for me personally, because this is the first Lent where I am a fully Initiated Catholic Christian. As such I am preparing for my first Pachal Liturgy when I can partake of the Holy Eucharist on the day of Our Blessed Lord's Resurrection!
I would also like to say that I desire (although it may not be my calling), more than anything in this world, to become a priest.....and so any good recommendations of songs about vocations would be sweet!
PS.
