Check out www.cclitv.com. It is a source for tons of new music as well as training materials. With a CCLI license, you can then go to www.ccli.com and access chord charts, lead sheets, etc. The CCLI site even provides you with the ability to transpose the music to any key.

Hello Habib

I plan the worship lists two months at a time. One resource I rely on is the "set lists" list here at WorshipTheRock. I look at what people are playing, and then go to YouTube to get a feel for how the tunes sound that I may be interested in. I am always interested in listening to many versions of a song; the "Professional" recording of a tune (from Hillsong, for instance), and then some less professional groups (doing it at church, in their garage, etc). The latter gives me a better feeling for how it might sound with out little worship team. ... and mistakes to avoid if we do decide to do a new song!

(Not to put down many of the YouTube church recordings, but, well, to be honest, they are good instructional videos on what NOT to do. Often falling into the "Love Durge" class...)

:-)

cheers,
- dave.

Hello Habib, CCLI is a great resouce for many reason and one thing that I think you might find useful is their top 100 songlist. It has a lot of songs that are tried and true for the last few years, some that your congregation will know from Chrisitan Radio or from Worship CD commercials on TV. If you are looking for newer songs than that then this website's songlist blog is great to see what is on the cutting edge. Blessings, <>/body>
