The Lyric Videos are excellent for teaching the songs, and for churches who need musical accompaniment provided. Powerpoint files may be edited if you wish to insert other backgrounds.
All of the songs may be streamed or hosted online subject to licensing – please see the product information sheet on the order pages.
Each pack comes with suggested Scriptures and themes related to the Lectionary and season of the church year, as well as ideas for use of the songs within worship. The music includes songs of praise, confession, the Word in music, prayers, blessings, commitment to mission and service, and sendings.
Songwriters include Robin Mann, Sharonne Price, Jenni Hughes, David MacGregor, Rosie O’Reilly, Paul Somerville, Malcolm Gordon, Leigh Newton and more.
Audio and video samples will be available on the CMLA website. The packs are available to download as ZIP files.
