Hi Everyone. May the Lord give you His peace. I thought I'd share some of the new extra-liturgical songs from my new EP "Come to Him Today" which is available for streaming and downloads on my website (FatherMaxMusic.com) and will release on the major streaming platforms on August 21st.
Also, if you have released (or will release) any new music in 2025-2026 please consider entering the song(s) in the upcoming
Catholic Music Awards which will take place at the Vatican from June 24-27th, 2027.

New extra-liturgical songs from FatherMaxMusic.com
Fr. Maximilian! Great to have you post again after a bit of an absence. These are excellent songs. Thanks for letting us know about the upcoming Catholic Music Awards which will take place at the Vatican from June 24-27th, 2027. I myself might have one or two songs to submit.
By the way, I need to tell you about the MP3 Music Playlist (as seen at the top of your post). The usual behavior has been that if one song was uploaded, there would not be a URL link to the song on the TCS server. This makes it a bit hard for someone to see the streaming MP3 source (unless one knows how to use Developer Tools). However if two or more songs were uploaded to the playlist, hyperlinks to the MP3 files would be encoded. Last night, after much sleuthing, I finally found a way to strip the <a> link from the songs via PHP code. This works fine to hide the song paths. But the drawback is that there is no indication of which song is playing as you progress through the player. You just have to listen to the lyrics (which is a good thing). Let me know if you are OK with the new behavior and appearance of the MP3 Music Player. The screenshot below shows the old behavior.

Catholic Music Awards 2027 - New song lyric
I hope to contribute the song lyric - Saint Joseph, in the hope of entering the Catholic Music Awards 2027. See if you like it and make it to the music program.
SONG LYRICS - Saint Joseph
Chorus
Saint Joseph, who is the carpenter from Jerusalem, Israel
The humble fatherhood of Jesus Christ in Nazareth
For many generations of the Holy Family
Forth the Lord, Jesus Christ, is delivered into the human family
Was a preparation for generations to come.
Verse
For 14 generations from the Abraham generations to David
For another 14 generations from the Babylonian exile
In addition to 14 generations from the Babylonian exile to Jesus Christ’s generations
A hope of a son who was born into the world for the light of God
A shiny star that changed the history of the human family.
A child from Mary that the Father in heaven delivered to the world
Into the human family with the fatherhood of Saint Joseph, the worker.
Verse
The silent night that changed the history of the world
Over 2000 years ago, the star from the sky that led the three kings to find the King of Peace
In the manger of Nazareth, a child born into the world, Jesus Christ.
The bright hope for the human family on earth that we are all searching for.
Let’s allow us to sing the praise of God, Hallelujah, praise the King of Peace.
Verse
“I will bless those who bless [Israel]. Genesis 12:3.”
The echo words from God through the heart of the people worldwide
The words of God are still the voices from the Bible
That is never too old for the human family to learn from the Father in heaven.
Sing aloud the kingdom of God still to come for generations
As God promised Abraham for a 1000 generations of blessing for the human family.
