Never Too Young NTY 270

This is the title track from this collection. Written by Carey Landry it is a rockabilly song about youth discipleship.

I think most music genres could have a place in liturgy in their appropriate culture, but I think I have reached my limits with rockabilly. Maybe I’ve been just been looking at too many American hymns.

The text, available in the sample at OCP, starts with “Never too young to preach the Gospel”, which doesn’t sound like the Catholic church I know – for all women and all laity at least, but I suppose Landry means preach the Gospel but don’t try it in church. The rest of the text is fair enough. The bridge changes key and can be call and response if desired.

If you can use a rockabilly song encouraging youth to service, the sheet music can be purchased at OCP.
