I Want To Find This Song!

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Catholic : One Thread

Hi All,

Last Sunday at Mass we sang one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, called "Turn To Me" ~ I can't remember all of the words and am searching the net for some kind of sheet music for this song; I would love to play it on the piano! If anyone can help I'd appreciate it so much!

Thanks!

Try calling your church.They will probably let you copy their sheet music.

Hi, Fayancie.
Is it the one that goes like this? ...

'Turn to me, oh, turn and be saved,' says the Lord, 'for I am God.'
'There is no other, none beside Me. I call your name.'
'I am He that comforts you. Who are you to be afraid?'
'Flesh that fades is made like the grass of the field, soon to wither.'
'Turn to me ... [etc.]

If so, it was written in 1975 by Fr. John Foley (a Jesuit), and you can get it from Oregon Catholic Press (a music source and missalette publisher) for $1.35 through this site:

I like it too, but never hear it. I hope that many more Catholic hymns make a wonderful impression on you, as time goes by. I love so many, both "oldies" and newer ones.
God bless you.
John

"Turn to Me" - John Foley.

I used to play this song all the time when I was head of the Folk Choir at my Church here in Westport, CT. It can be found in the "Glory and Praise" books.

Have you checked out the OCP website?
