Present · Lyrics
Nobody should retype the setlist.
Your song library already knows the words, the arrangement, and the key. Lyrics slides build themselves from it — in your church's colors, with sections the operator can read at a glance.
Core presentation is free forever. Bring your existing song library with you.
Songs → slides
One library. Every screen it needs to reach.
The same song record feeds the projection screens, the stage monitor's chord chart, and the CCLI report at the end of the year. Update the arrangement once and every one of those follows — because they were never separate copies to begin with.
- Arrangements stay in lockstep between Songs and Present
- Named keys — the same song in E for one leader, G for another
- Chord charts transpose at render time, so one chart serves every key
- What was actually sung feeds your CCLI reporting automatically
What the operator sees
The whole song, on one screen, before it starts.
Nothing about running lyrics should be a surprise. Every slide in the arrangement is visible at once, in order, so the person clicking through knows what is coming next instead of discovering it a beat late.
What makes it easy on Sunday
Built for whoever is running it this week.
The arrangement drives the slides
Lyrics follow the arrangement the worship leader actually chose — verse, chorus, bridge, tag, in the order this Sunday needs. Change the arrangement in Songs and the slides follow.
Sections you can see coming
Every section carries an identity color — Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Tag, Vamp — so the operator reads the shape of the song at a glance instead of guessing where the repeat lands.
Text that always fits
Shrink-to-fit sizing keeps a long verse on one slide without a volunteer hand-tuning font sizes on Saturday night.
Six layouts, your brand
From Centered Classic to Lower-Third, each layout inherits your church's colors, fonts, and logo through themes — so lyrics look like your church without anyone designing under pressure.
Lyrics over anything
Words sit on their own layer above stills, motion backgrounds, or live camera — so you can change the background mid-set without touching a single lyric slide.
Bring your existing library
Import ProPresenter 7 shows straight into Present; bring ProPresenter 4–6, ChordPro, and OpenLyrics files in through Songs, or paste plain text. Your catalog comes with you.
Why backgrounds never break lyrics
Words live on their own layer.
Media, lyrics, props, and announcements stack independently. Swap the motion background between songs and the words stay exactly where they were — and a lower third can appear over both without disturbing either.
