How to Add, Organize, and Search Worship Lyrics

Structure verse, chorus, and bridge sections for seamless lyrics projection during spontaneous moments of worship.

1. Adding a New Song

In the Library workspace, select the "Songs" tab and click "Add Song".

Enter the title, author or CCLI license details.

Paste your lyrics into the editor. To break lines into separate presentation slides, simply leave a blank line between stanzas.

2. Tagging Song Sections (Verse, Chorus, Bridge)

Label your song sections with clear tags such as [Verse 1], [Chorus], [Bridge], [Outro].

Hope Control uses these section headers to create dedicated quick-jump navigation buttons in the Preview area, making it effortless to loop back to the chorus.

3. Live Search During Service

When the worship leader spontaneously transitions into an unannounced song, press Ctrl + F or click the search field.

Type any keyword from the song title or even a fragment of the lyrics. Results filter instantaneously, ready to preview and send live.
