The following songs contain downright heretical lyrics or are just plain bad and unsuitable for worship. The USCCB should ban them.
| Author | Title | Reason |
| Berthier, Jacques | Eat This Bread | "Come to me and never be hungry?" No, go to CHRIST, not me! | Chiusano, Gerard | I Will Be Your God | I will not be your God. He will be our God. | Conry, Tom | Ashes | We don't make ourselves anew. Christ does. | Ducote, Darryl | Look Beyond | "I am the bread..." No, Christ is. | Farjeon, Eleanor | Morning Has Broken | No mention of God. | Farrell, Bernadette | Jubilee Song | Trite. "We are young, we are old, in your world our lives unfold." God deserves better than a Care Bears tune... | Haas, David | You Are Mine | Comforting song about death outside of Mass, but in Mass, let's remember that I am not the voice of God. | Haas, David | Song of the Body of Christ | Although the traditional Hawaiian melody is great, we can see why Haas is so confused about what liturgical music should be. He thinks we come to share our story, not worship Christ. | Haugen, Marty | Gather Us In | Ugly tune. No focus on God. | Haugen, Marty | Mass of Creation | Lamb of God does not follow Mass text. | Haugen, Marty | We Walk By Faith | Not only are you implying my faith is blind, this song is not worshipping God. It's telling more of "my" story. | Huijbers, Bernard | Hold Me In Life | "Because you are just who you are." Cheesey. | Jabusch, Willard | Whatsoever You Do | They are God's people, not mine. "to the least of MY people." | Joncas, Michael | I Have Loved You | My love isn't everlasting. God's is. | Joncas, Michael | On Eagle's Wings | More cheese than a pizza. | Lafferty, Karen | Seek Ye First | No truer words have been spoken, but this is not what Mass is about. | Landry, Carey | Peace is Flowing Like a River | Song does not mention God. | Lowry, Robert | How Can I Keep from Singing | Nice song outside of Mass. Inside of Mass I ask: Where's the God? | Miller, Sy and Jill Jackson | Let There Be Peace on Earth | Song does not mention God. | Norbert, Gregory | Hosea | God never left us. He doesn't need to come to me but I am to him. | Schutte, Dan | As I Have Done For You | Very confused piece. Author thinks he is Jesus. "I, your Lord..." | Schutte, Dan | City of God | Everything about this song screams bad. What does it mean to be a son of morning? | Schutte, Dan | Here I Am, Lord | Schute must really think he is God. "I, the Lord..." |
