amending song lyrics
3 CommentsSorted by Popular
If you are using CCLI their License specifically prohibits doing this. You can re=arrange the order of the verses, choruses, etc. but you can NOT change them.
Don is correct. However, if it's a public domain song, you should be able to change it if you want.
This is expressly forbidden under their license if you are utilizing CCLI. The order of the choruses, verses, etc. can be changed.

Hi,
Does anyone know, is it okay to slightly massage song lyrics (e.g. for theological or seasonal reasons) of copyrighted worship songs during a worship service?
Case in point: instead of singing
Through clouds He will lead us
Straight into glory
And there He shall reign forevermore
singing this instead:
Through clouds He will meet us
Bringing his glory
And here He shall reign forevermore
Thanks!
