Look through a list of titles on a Christian music or Christian out-of-print-specific online catalog. If the catalog doesn't have what you are looking for, write a detailed email to the catalog company. Many Christian music websites provide an email address specifically for this purpose. List the title you are looking for in the body of the email. Include your email address and phone number so company representatives may contact you if they find the track or have further questions.
