And regarding the use of "Yahweh": This song was written in 1972. Pope Benedict XVI prohibited that particular pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton in 2008. There are 36 years of publication in between there. Most Catholic music ministries substitute the words "All God's people" or something similar in order to abide by the Vatican's decision.

I encourage you to find a way to praise God that works for you, and not to disparage the genuine worship of other Catholics.

Do we Catholics use or read the Bible? Can't Psalm 149 be more clear?

Alleluia! Sing a new song to the Lord: his praise in the assembly of the faithful!

Israel shall rejoice in its Maker, the children of Zion delight in their king;

they shall dance in praise of his name, play to him on tambourines and harp!

For the Lord loves his people, he will crown the humble with salvation.

The faithful exult in glory, shout for joy as they worship him,

praising God to the heights with their voices.

[allelujia1]

Alleluia.....Music takes the dust from our soul...Thank you Dan Schtte you are a true servent of the Lord...

Nicely done,folks.

On a counterpoint, I'm sad that people argue about singing praises to God and or doubt a Catholic's ability to read the Bible. Remember, when you are called before God, how you judged other people and pray that you are not judged with the same harsh words.

At Basilorat, you have put my point into better words.  Thank you.

At SorokChyetirye, you are absolutely correct about the misinterpretation of Vatican II being the real problem. That is a very good analogy of our Protestant brothers and sisters misinterpreting the Bible the same way we misinterpret Vatican II.

This song is a misinterpretation of Vatican II. Case and point.

Please do compare Traditional Latin Mass priest or sister order statistics with Novus Ordo priest or sister order statistics.

At SorokChyetirye, yes, of course, Catholics are called to be joyful for Christ's sacrifice and ultimate resurrection. However, if you were a bystander watching our Lord Passion and Crucifixion would you be dancing for joy then? Of course not.

The Mass is the representation of this sacrifice on Calvary.

I think there is nothing wrong with this song as an on-your-own-time type thing or in the Church hall after Mass, just not Mass.

[ColoSunflowerGirl]

At RikiSmiley, yes, of course, this song is based on the Psalm, however, it is inappropriate for Mass. Everything that occurred in the Bible is not necessarily appropriate for Mass.

[ColoSunflowerGirl]

At Singjoyfully22, yes, of course this song was written before Pope Benedict XVI prohibited the use of the word Yahweh. 'Most Catholic music ministries substitute the words "All God's people" or something similar in order to abide by the Vatican's decision.' This video has the word "Yahweh" no substitution.

@RikiSmiley No, Riki. The Bible's a very Protestant writing no Catholic dares touch for fear they'll be "testifying" and giving money to Billy Graham. After all, it was the Protestants who discovered the TRUE Bible after 1500 years of us never once having a Bible. Oh wait. The Pope decreed the canon of the Bible in the early 4th century. So it is a Catholic publication.

So why don't more Catholics read it? (Perhaps we should just get more Catholics to read period.)

[SorokChyetirye]

@ColoSunflowerGirl Catholics aren't called to be joyful for Christ's sacrifice? What a sad, gloomy little world you must live in to believe in such error.

The disciples rejoiced at the Resurrection. Why should not we also rejoice that Christ has saved us by His sacrifice on the Cross?
