All three of these songs below are congregational favourites, but do you know which are in copyright and which is public domain?

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Shout To The Lord

Rock of Ages

Many people are not aware that two of these songs are still in copyright, and therefore reproducing the lyrics without a licence is an infringement of copyright law.

Many churches maintain a database of lyrics on a computer to print lyrics in the weekly bulletin, or to project lyrics onto a large screen or wall. This is for the sole purpose of encouraging their congregation to enhance their worship experience, and ultimately grow in their relationships with God.
