Hymnal Chord Charts!All songs are posted in editable formatting for your use!!! I have yet to find a site that allows people to adjust document formatting to personal specs. That's why I made this template and (through these songs) am giving it to you!!! I prefer chord charts to be clear and concise. I do my best to design sheet music to have the largest possible font while keeping the song to one page. You may disagree. Adjust the template to your preferences and begin your database. I have a large collection of modern songs, if you have a need, let me know what key and what level of skill we are writing for and let's see if we can help you!
I have posted hymns for two reasons:
1. Hymns are powerful. They teach with both power and simplicity from the Bible the goodness, glory, and grace of God. They focus on the truth of who He is and what He has done rather than on our emotional respone and limited view of Him.
2. Due to copyright laws, I can only post songs on here that are in the public domain (typically hymns). I have a database of thousands of songs - please reach out to me for any songs you might need.
Take what you need!Worship music was made to be sung in Churches by believers. Everything I have posted is for your service to your congregation. Graphics! Powerpoints! PDFs! Printables! Originals!
Use my stuff! I want to limit your time having to find stuff to help you do stuff!

I have seen so much delay and interruption of ministry due to training and resource issues. I urge every pastor and ministry leader to have some sort of sense how sound works, how music works. These resources can help you in your versatility! I assembled information into a manual to serve as a complete training tool and gave it away! Click HERE!!
I have taught countless people to play the guitar. I wrote a manual using the hymns as the means to learn. You can download it HERE for free!

I strongly suggest every pastor subscribing to a service such as www.songselect.com that will account for any and all legal and ethical issues dealing with copyright issues involving your need to duplicate and distribute the songs to the worship team members. Songselect also allows you to have music written in multiple formats, in all keys, and (for most songs) you can even listen to the song.
Free sites are great sources to quickly get song sheets but are usually limited to the key they were uploaded in, the formatting is poor, the chords are often in the wrong place, and the chords are often wrong. Sites like this are used to get the lyrics and basic chord play of the songs but should be further edited in order to be readable and accurate.
FYI - Great Source for Church Copyright Legal Information!!!
I am always uncomfortable doing this type of thing but it is necessary to be able to offer my services at no charge. My desire is to see my 30 years of work making your life as a minister easier and more joyful. I recognize that to those of us who hold to our integrity, these types of disclaimers are unnecessary. They, however, are necessary in order to clearly state the boundaries of the resource offered working within set parameters. It's a matter of integrity. Most of us place a high value on our integrity as Christians and ministers. Yet because there are those among us who do not yet understand the importance of holding to the strict standard of ethics, I must state clearly the boundaries of the services offered.
