Add song lyrics to a slide from your song library
Use the Songs tab in the Slide Editor to drop verses and choruses onto a slide in the style you choose, without retyping a word.
Last checked 1 min read
When you build a sermon slide or a custom lyric slide, you do not have to retype a song. The Slide Editor has a Songs tab that reads from the same song library as the Song browser.
Add lyrics
- Open a slide in the Slide Editor. See Design your own slides in the Slide Editor.
- In the left rail, choose Songs.
- Type in Search title, artist or lyrics, then open the song.
- Tick the Sections you want, such as Verse 1 and Chorus. A preview shows what you will get.
- Pick a Lyric style. Each is previewed live. Choose More styles for the rest.
- Under How to add, choose All on this slide or A slide each.
- Choose Add to this slide.
| How to add | Result |
|---|---|
| All on this slide | The ticked sections are placed together on the slide you are editing. |
| A slide each | A new slide is made for every ticked section. |
The text takes its colour from the slide's own background, so it stays readable. Everything lands as ordinary editable text, so you can move it, resize it, or change the font.
Next: Choose fonts for your text and Add text effects to lyrics and slides.
