Service morning — Sabbath or Sunday — is a bad time to discover the chorus is in the wrong key or the second verse is still a screenshot. A worship-team lyrics library is a personal set of charts you can read, transpose, and open in order — on the device you actually stand with.
Lyrics Library is that kind of songbook. Sign in so your songs follow you. It is not a live shared binder for the whole team. If you need to send a chart, export it. If you need the same library on your tablet, sync your account.
Build charts you can sing from
Type or paste the lyric the congregation will actually hear. Mark chords on the syllables. Keep invented placeholders out of the service folder — “bridge idea” belongs in drafts, not in the 9 a.m. or 10 a.m. list.
A readable service chart usually has:
- Clear verse / chorus / bridge labels in the lyric
- Chords you can hide if you are only cueing words
- A key you can change without reprinting
One list for the service
Create a setlist named for the gathering — “Sabbath 22 Aug · 9am” or “Sunday 23 Aug · 10am” — not a generic “worship songs” pile. Put the welcome song first, the familiar congregational chorus where people need it, and the closer last.
If you play both Sabbath and Sunday, keep two lists. Same charts can live in both. The order and the keys often change with the room.
Order for breath and key. Two songs in a high tessitura back to back will wear a volunteer singer out. Transpose the personal chart for whoever is leading that week instead of keeping “Same Song — Eb” as a duplicate.

Stage view is the stand copy
Open the set in stage view: large type, screen awake, auto-scroll if you use it. You should look at the room more than the glass. Swipe to the next song when the prayer ends.
If you also play from a paper chart, treat the phone as backup — same words, same order. Do not keep a third version in a notes app that drifted mid-week.
What the app does for teams now
Lyrics Library Bands is the shared binder: one library, one setlist for tonight, and optional live follow so when the leader advances, the rest of the stand stays on the same song. Personal Lyrics Library stays free forever — Bands is an optional add-on under Account → Bands.
Each person still signs in to their own account. The band owner invites the rest with a link. Editing a band chart updates it for everyone in that band. Your personal transpose and capo for a band song stay private to you.
If you only need to send a chart once, you can still export lyrics, ChordPro, or PDF without Bands.
A simple Sabbath or Sunday workflow
- Fix charts during the week
- Build the service setlist (one list per gathering)
- Set transpose / capo per song
- Sign in and open the set once on Wi‑Fi
- Stand with stage view
Legal notes stay in the Terms: add and perform material you have the right to use. The app is a reader and a library, not a license.
