Dino’s Journal 📖

I know I just recently wrote a music log post. And I don't usually do them in quick succession. Not to mention, I don't usually write posts on Sundays. But ever since I heard a wonderful rendition of Dan Schutte's “You Are Near” in the televised Mass I was watching, I have been wanting to do a Sunday Music Log post. What was holding me back, was finding a similar rendition of the song that I could share online. I couldn't find one, so I sort of gave up on the idea.

Then in today's Mass, Dave and Lauren Moore, the couple who sings in the televised Sunday Masses that I watch, sang a beautiful rendition of “I Am The Bread Of Life”. Once again I was filled with this urge to write a Sunday Music Log post. I went on to the Catholic Diocese of Dallas website to find a way to contact the diocese. I wanted to ask them if they have recorded videos of the songs that Dave and Lauren Moore sang in Mass. It turns out, the diocese has a YouTube channel where they uploaded recordings of the televised Masses I've been watching. Within those videos are the exact rendition of the songs that I watched, and now want to share.

All songs in this music log were performed by Dave and Lauren Moore.

So, first up is this beautiful rendition of Dan Schutte's “You Are Near”. The song starts at around the 48:22 mark.

This song brings back good memories. Memories of me as a kid singing it in Mass at school. Memories of me playing the guitar, while our group of altar servers sang this song in Mass. It's such a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Where can I run from your love?
If I climb to the heavens you are there
If I fly to the sunrise
Or sail beyond the sea
Still I’d find you there

O Lord, I know you are near
Standing always at my side
You guard me from the foe
And you lead me in ways everlasting

Second song for today is this beautiful rendition of Matt Maher's “Lord I Need You”. The song starts at around the 48:32 mark.

Beautiful song from a contemporary Christian artist.

Lord, I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without You I fall apart
You're the One that guides my heart

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

And the third and last song for today, is this beautiful rendition of “I Am The Bread Of Life”. The song starts at around the 49:34 mark.

I've never heard this song sang as a duet. Dave and Lauren sang this beautifully.

I am the Bread of life,
And who comes to Me shall not hunger,
And who believes in Me shall not thirst.
No one can come to Me
Unless the Father lets.

And I will raise you up,
And I will raise you up,
And I will raise you up on the last day.

And that's it for my first ever Sunday Music Log. I hope everyone has a blessed weekend.
