Hello, and welcome to Song 14.3! Here you'll find a great selection of lyrics to Christian songs.
Let me tell you something: I love music. I love hearing music, I love singing music, I love writing music. Few things can stir the heart like music. Music is a big part of how we show adoration to God, and I am always delighted to learn a new song with which I can praise my Creator.
It is because of my love of God and music that I have spent many hours putting together this directory of songs. It is as exhaustive as possible: virtually every religious song I know and many I don't. I've searched through songbooks, hymnals, and the internet to compile this list. There are songs of praise, songs of encouragement, fun songs, serious songs, heartfelt songs, songs of penance, songs of joy. I hope this directory can serve you in helping you glorify God.
The format: The songs are arranged in alphabetical order by title. I have listed them under the titles by which I know them, but when I come across alternate titles, I have tried to include them where possible. Each song is saved in a .txt file format for quick and easy loading and saving, should you choose to save any.
Lyrical differences: Not only to titles differ for some songs, but there are often minor lyrical differences—for example, the sheet music may be written one way, but I learned it a different way. I have tried to include any and all lyrical differences that I am aware of. I have notated them by placing them in brackets "[]" next to the word(s) they replace or change. The brackets are not to be confused with parentheses, which often denote pick-ups or optional words.
Scripture references: Oftentimes scriptures are set to music, and these become songs we sing frequently. Where possible, I have included the scripture reference for songs taken from the Bible.
Here it.
Legalities: I do not own the rights to the vast majority of these songs. Where possible, I have included the names of the lyricist, composer, arranger, and any other important names. By compiling these songs in a directory, I do not claim ownership of them, but I only wish to present these great Christian contributions to a wider audience in an easily accessible form. Thank you.
