Worship lyric videos
Worship Lyric Videos for Your Whole Sunday Setlist
Large, high-contrast lyrics that read from the back row and stay clear of stream overlays, with your CCLI credit line on screen. Build each song in the browser, free in 720p.
Batch setlist export and a church team plan are coming soon. For now, each song is its own project.
How it works
From file to finished video in three steps.
- 01
Load the song and lyrics
Add the recording your team will use and paste the words exactly as they are sung on Sunday, repeats and tags included.
- 02
Time each line
Play it through and press a key as each line begins. AI word sync is available in early access if you would rather not tap.
- 03
Set it up for the room and export
Choose a large-type layout, switch on the projector or livestream safe area, fill in the CCLI line and download a 16:9 MP4.
Readable first
Built for a sanctuary screen, not a phone feed
Lyric videos made for social feeds chase motion. A congregation needs the opposite: words big enough to read from the last row, contrast that holds up on a washed-out projector, and nothing that pulls attention away from singing. The worship layouts here start from large type over a calm background, with safe areas that keep each line inside what a projector shows and away from where livestream graphics sit. A CCLI credit line field puts the song and license numbers on screen. Batch export for a full setlist is coming soon.
City lights are calling out my name
AI auto-sync is in early access. Tap-to-sync works today, free.
Large-type layouts
Type sized for distance reading, so every line stays legible from the back of the room, even through a dim projector.
Projector and livestream safe areas
Guides show where a projector may crop the edges and where stream overlays usually sit, so no line gets cut off or covered.
CCLI credit line
Type the song number and your church's license number into the credit line field, and it is shown on screen with the lyrics.
Setlist batching, coming soon
Export every song for a service in one pass, plus a Ministry team plan at $19 a month. Neither is live yet; songs are made one at a time today.
Who it's for
Built for the way you release.
Worship leaders
Introduce a new song with a lyric video the congregation can follow, so the words are familiar before you lead it live.
Church media volunteers
Turn the week's setlist into projector-ready videos without learning a full editing suite. The safe-area guides do the measuring.
Worship songwriters
Release an original song with a lyric video that churches can play on Sunday, credit line already in place.

FAQ
Questions about this tool
Load a recording you are licensed to use, paste the lyrics the way your team sings them, and press a key as each line begins to time the slides. Choose a large-type layout, switch on the projector or livestream safe area, and fill in the CCLI credit line. Then export a 16:9 MP4. The 720p version is free with a small watermark, and $4.99 gets you a clean 1080p file of that song.
Usually, yes. Churches that project song lyrics generally need a CCLI Church Copyright License, and streaming or posting services online typically requires a separate streaming license. If your video uses a commercial recording, that recording may need its own permission as well. The credit line field helps you display the song and license numbers, but it does not grant a license. Confirm current names and coverage at ccli.com or with the publisher.
Not yet. Batch setlist export, where you add every song for the service and export them together, is coming soon. Today each song is its own project: load the track, paste the words, time the lines and export. Choosing the same layout, palette and safe area for every song keeps the whole set looking consistent on screen in the meantime, so the switch between songs feels intentional.
A dedicated lower-third layout is not available today. What you can use now is the livestream safe area, which keeps the lyrics inside the part of the frame that stream graphics and player controls are least likely to cover. If your broadcast needs true lower-thirds layered over a camera shot, the lyric or title tools in your streaming software are the better fit for now.
There is no built-in two-language layout yet. Lyrics are entered as plain text, so you can make a separate video for each language your congregation sings in, using the same recording and the same timing approach. That works well when services run in different languages or when a second screen carries the translation. A side-by-side bilingual slide is not something the editor offers today.
Coming soon. The Ministry plan, at $19 a month, is being built for churches that make lyric videos every week, alongside batch setlist export. Until it launches, a volunteer can use the free tier, buy Single HD at $4.99 for one song, or subscribe to Creator at $12 a month for watermark-free 1080p browser exports, with 4K where the browser supports it.
Export 16:9 for most current projectors, TVs and livestreams: 1920×1080 on paid exports, 720p on the free tier. If your sanctuary still uses a 4:3 projector, note that 4:3 is not an export option, so the 16:9 video will show with bars above and below. For clips on the church's social channels during the week, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5 are available too.
