Songs that become stage-ready slides

Browse a global song catalog or keep your church's own ChordPro songs in WorshipDeck. Compose lyric slides with congregation, lower-third, and confidence-monitor outputs — including CCLI on credits slides.

WorshipDeck songs catalog

Worship teams should not retype lyrics every Thursday. WorshipDeck Songs combines a read-only global catalog with My songs — your church's ChordPro library — and a compose wizard that turns an arrangement into a presentation.

Browse, compose, present. Chords stay available for the band without forcing them onto the house screen.

Global catalog

Open Songs to search by title or songwriter, filter English or Spanish, and browse Songwriters or Categories. Open a song for metadata, lyrics, and an optional Chords tab when chord data exists.

The catalog is read-only — no add, edit, or delete. That keeps a shared repertoire stable. Your custom arrangements live in My songs.

Each row can show writers, tags, key, a Chords badge, and Compose. Compose opens a wizard that builds a worship presentation from that song.

My songs

My songs is the church-owned list: add lyrics with ChordPro markers, store copyright and CCLI fields, and preview lyrics versus chords. Empty state is honest — add your first song with chords or plain lyrics.

ChordPro [chord] markers set whether the song has chords. That flag unlocks confidence-monitor chord options in compose and chord presenter views later.

A church licensing policy can warn or block missing CCLI on worship decks. That is policy on your metadata — not a CCLI SongSelect integration.

Compose: from chart to slides

The compose wizard walks details → theme → lyrics → arrangement:

  • Title and credits slides, including CCLI# when you have it
  • Aspect ratio and a required screen layout
  • Split lines per slide so lyrics stay readable
  • Drag sections into slide order

Worship compose can create:

  • Main congregation slides — lyrics the room sings
  • Lower third (variant 1) — stream or overlay-friendly lines
  • Confidence monitor (variant 2) — stage lyrics, with an optional chords toggle when the song has chords

Those variants are not the same as the Chords presenter tab. Musicians who need a full-deck chart should use presenter views from service present so the chart follows the live song.

After compose, you still edit the deck like any worship presentation — themes, backgrounds, and lyric tweaks included.

Live with the band

On Sunday, put the worship presentation in a service. The operator advances lyrics; chord charts on a stage tablet stay in sync. See live presentation and WorshipDeck for worship teams.
