Selection-policy check

  • Every song contains biblically defensible theology
  • Every song is intended for corporate worship — meant to sing together
  • The gathered body can truthfully own every lyric
  • Melody, rhythm, range, repetition, and phrasing are congregationally singable (untrained voice, row 12, published key)
  • Every song makes a clear Christian confession and has a pastoral use in this gathering
  • No secular or generic “love song” — or a documented leadership exception below
  • The congregation does not sing in God's first-person voice — or a documented leadership exception below
  • No more than one unfamiliar song in this service
  • New title has planned repeat outings, is in the licensed catalog, and appears in the annual register
  • Theology-sensitive line or reading sent to pastoral oversight (if any)
