Wherever faith in Christ is found, that faith will find expression in a multitude of songs. On this site we offer new songs for praise and worship. Since we consider these words and this music a gift from the Lord, they are free for all to use. The Lord's blessings on your worship!
Cultivating the Lutheran tradition of soundly Scriptural teaching and praise, what a gift for the Bride of Christ!
