Worship Word Video
Open the free finder
Church worship video finder
Search public YouTube worship videos that show the words people need to sing. The catalogue brings together English worship songs, traditional hymns and multilingual videos with on-screen lyrics or subtitles, without copying or republishing the lyrics.
Church leaders use several names for the same practical resource: worship lyric videos, worship songs with words, YouTube worship videos with lyrics and church sing-along videos. Worship Word Video helps people find the original public uploads and compare whether an uploader identifies on-screen words, native-language lyrics, English subtitles or a bilingual presentation.
This is especially useful for churches without musicians every week, small congregations and service leaders who would otherwise spend hours opening unrelated YouTube results.

The finder supports English-speaking churches as well as international congregations and churches where English is a second language. Presentation labels help distinguish native-language vocals with native words, English vocals with translated subtitles, native vocals with English subtitles and bilingual versions where the public uploader information supports that description.
Always ask a fluent speaker or trusted church leader to review translated words and theology before public use. A catalogue label helps narrow the search; it is not a linguistic or theological endorsement.
Worship Word Video is a search and playlist-planning directory. It does not host recordings, download videos or reproduce song lyrics. Videos remain on YouTube and may be changed, restricted or removed by their uploaders. Churches should preview each video and confirm the music, words, performance, projection and streaming permissions needed for their own service.
Worship Word Video is free to use and needs no account. Anyone can search and preview videos, build and save a named running order on their device, set tidy start and stop points, and open the separate church-screen window. There is no subscription or fee, and the optional charity donation link is never a condition of use. Videos play in YouTube’s own embedded player, so any adverts or restrictions come from YouTube and the uploader, not from this directory.
On Worship Word Video, a words-indicated label means the uploader’s own title, description or the maintained metadata signalled that lyrics, words or subtitles appear on screen. It is a search shortcut rather than a human review: nobody has confirmed that every verse appears, that the spelling is correct, or that the wording suits your congregation. Watch each video right through before the service, and if it is not in English, ask someone who knows the language well to check it.
No. Finding a video through Worship Word Video says nothing about your church’s permissions. Copyright licensing for singing, projecting words, recording or live-streaming stays your church’s own responsibility, and a video being publicly visible on YouTube does not grant those permissions. Check what your service involves with the licensing bodies relevant to your country, such as CCLI, PRS or PPL in the UK, or take your own professional advice. This directory has no affiliation with them.
Any linked video can disappear, because each one stays on YouTube under its uploader’s control and may be edited, made private, geo-blocked or deleted without notice. Worship Word Video stores only the link and public metadata, so there is no copy here to fall back on. Check your running order again shortly before the service, keep an alternative video for each song, and be ready to sing unaccompanied if a link fails.
Yes. Worship Word Video lists more than 72,000 playable YouTube links across 114 named languages, and you can search or filter by language as well as by song title, artist or hymn number. Listings show whether uploader information suggests native-language words, translated subtitles, English subtitles or a bilingual format. Those labels come from public metadata rather than any language review, so treat them as a starting point and have a fluent speaker check the words first.
Worship Word Video says the language is not stated when the uploader’s title, channel or writing system gave no dependable evidence of it, even though the wording pointed to words or subtitles on screen. The alternative would be to inherit the language of whichever search found the video, which can be wrong. Treat those entries as worth previewing rather than as faults, and confirm the language yourself before planning a service around one.
