Ideas:
The latest rage in worship music (Bethel, Hillsong, etc.) is loooong songs that can last as long as 6 minutes! Clocking in at almost 6 minutes is this arrangement of O Come All Ye Faithful (Adore.)

It's almost like a mini-praise set. This modern Christmas arrangement starts out with a moody minor key piano riff (similar to Bethel Worship in style) slowy ramps up to a powerful, climactic bridge ("Come and adore the Lord...") then finishes with a few sparse vertical (singing TO the Lord) choruses.

Try using O Come All Ye Faithful (Adore) in that slot during your offering right before the message - in a typical contemporary worship service it might look like this:

welcome
praise set (3-4 songs)
offering: O Come All Ye Faithful (Adore)
sermon

I've arranged O Come All Ye Faithful (Adore) specifically for a female (alto) worship leader in the lower key of D major. It's low enough for an alto yet still singable for your congregation. If it still seems a little low use Finale software to transpose up to E or F.

"Bethel" drum version

To experiment I've created a second "Bethel" mix with those popular Bethel-style toms. Why? Because I can! The great thing about not having to answer to a publisher is I'm free to try different things - and give you more options on how to use the music here at HymnCharts! The regular pop version has a typical pop drum pattern and the Bethel version is driven by toms, more similar to the mixes on their recordings. Read more about it on the blog.

The modern worship lyrics trend for projection is to leave out most punctuation for a clean look. The original hymncharts lyrics text file contains punctuation. Our website hymndex.com was created to help churches build hymn lyric slides without punctuation.

Instruments mp3s are the arrangements played one time through with just piano and instrumental parts to give you an idea of the orchestration. In the early days of hymncharts before I made vocal recordings I had created these instruments mp3s as a quick demo. Since I now create both a POP and an ORC (orchestrated) mix I no longer make instrumental mp3s for newer arrangements.
MP3 Problems?
Several subscribers have had problems downloading MP3s. Here are the 2 most typical problems and solutions:

1. How do I download the MP3s? MP3s and (if available) multitrack WAV downloads are found under the "tracks" tab. You can download these MP3s (or any files) to your computer by RIGHT clicking the button, then a little box will pop up with options. Select something like "save as"or "save link as" to manually save the MP3s to your computer where you can then burn a CD, email it to your praise team or upload it to a worship planning website.

2. The MP3 won't play in iTunes (or other media player.) All HymnCharts MP3s are free from ALL copy protection and can be used any way you want. Some people are clicking the MP3 button dragging it to iTunes or another media player. This won't work (you're actually just dragging the image file of the button!) Download the MP3 using the instructions above, then you can access it through your media player.
