You may think you've hit the mother lode when you get to this resource... literally hundreds of worship songs, all free for church use - mp3s, chords, and lyrics (although not all of them for every song)

Three free praise and worship songs, with chords, notation, and a lo-fi mp3 sample.

A collection of worship choruses and chord charts. Rob's one request is that you email him if you use a song.... not to ask permission, but just to let him know it is being used.

a collection of mp3s, lyrics, chord sheets, and lead sheets from several songwriters and worship leaders

a nice collection of worship songs, with sheet music and midi files. May be used freely by churches, although the request is to report them to CCLI if you have a CCLI license. (there are also a few CCM songs elsewhere on the pages)

Free Music Resources for WorshipCyber Hymnal offers over 5,000 (that's right - over 5,000) hymns and worship songs... scores, lyrics, & MIDI files - plus background info on some of the songs.

Reading the scores requires downloading the free NoteWorthy player. While most songs on the site are public domain, some are not and therefore may not be available for free use.

At New Hope Music, Ralph Merrifield freely offers hundreds of original songs. For most (all?) of them, there are free lyrics, guitar chords, sheet music, and midi files available. It's not a place to go looking for songs you already know, but perhaps we should be making better known songs which can be used for free!
