G’Day Kate
I agree with you, I think this one is well past its use by date. The collection it is from is from the 1990s and it was still in high rotation back then. I haven’t heard it at mass for the last decade. In this post I think I was trying to find something nice to say about it.

You know, however, the oddest songs are meaningful to people in their situation or were important in their journey to faith and that needs to be respected.

We are singing in the voice of God I suspect here and that, too, has become problematic. Where it is obvious, because the gathered assembly is an aspect of the real presence of God it can be fine, I suppose, but I don’t miss this one. At least it doesn’t have a recitation.

cheers
Geoff

I can get on board with a fair number of catchy or moving 70s hymns but this one is completely wrong and inelegant. Are we singing AS Jesus? TO Jesus? I don’t get the point of this as liturgical music, it just sounds like a dated pop song. My kids couldn’t believe how lame it was. I had to keep the teen from laughing at the “just where it is.”

I would love to purchase All I ask if you. If anyone has information on I might go about doing so I would really appreciate it.

Thank you!

It looks like you cannot purchase just this song. But it is in Organ Book 3, available from Weston Priory via this site: http://www.westonpriory.org/esales/index.html

At the age of 14 I told all my friends and mum that if they’re alive when I pass, I want it sung at my funeral.
