Find a song for the season.

This page follows the broad Christian year from Advent through Christ the King, while staying flexible enough for churches that use a lighter calendar. Most songs are placed in one primary season, with secondary notes and a few intentional repeats for especially fitting worship moments such as Communion, Baptism, funerals, Thanksgiving, Ascension, Trinity Sunday, Christ the King, Advent, and Epiphany. Choose a season, listen to a song, then open the lead sheet or chord chart for worship planning.
