The little things make all the difference, no?

We have not been able to replicate that experience with WorshipMap Pro, because of the nature of the service. We could show you the service and answer your questions, but you couldn't experience it for yourself without a credit card transaction and lots of work to set up user accounts for your volunteers. That has now changed. LifeWayWorship is pleased to announce WorshipMap Pro training accounts.

At selected events where WorshipMap Pro is demonstrated, you will now be able to use a free, fully functioning WorshipMap Pro training account during the course of the training event. The account is pre-populated with worship plans, songs, and users so you can experience this exciting subscription service right away and without risk.

To address Bonnie's question directly and to make sure we're comparing apples to apples, let me remind you that the website has always had more titles than the hymnal. The hymnal has 674 selections. The website started with 975 (674 that are in the hymnal plus an additional 301). The CD track kit contains all of the initial 975 recordings. The document here is a list of what has been added since the initial 975 song titles and does not include the 301 songs / arrangements not included in the hymnal.

1,200 songs and 22,000 active accounts later, we are celebrating our one year anniversary. It is our desire that we not just crank out the latest tunes and play with innovative technology, but to equip you with real solutions for your ministry.

To help us celebrate, I want to offer you 5 free downloads from LifeWayWorship.com. Simply enter the promo code: 2009ANNIVERSARY at checkout. (As always, be sure and get all of your downloads in a single session). This offer is good until December 1.

2010 looks to be another exciting year. Although, we're not adding another 1,200 songs, we will be adding new material on a regular basis. We''re not only growing our list of songs, but expanding our stylistic repertoire. Watch for our expanding list of genres to include kids, country, and messianic material. And I'm not allowed to reveal much yet, but be sure to watch for a special announcement on November 17th.

In order not to miss this announcement and to keep up with the happenings of LifeWayWorship.com, consider following us on Twitter and check this blog often.

Also recently added are two more from country artist Dan Schafer: Trading My Sorrows and Indescribable.

The song will likely become even more popular now that the David Crowder Band recorded it for the new CD Church Music. Crowder changed the lyric to "unforeseen kiss," which is admittedly less jarring. I fault neither Crowder for changing the lyric nor McMillan for allowing him to do so. After all, the song is not really about sloppy, wet kisses and the metaphor is not essential to the message of the lyric. Crowder's lyric will, in the end, be the one the song will be known by.

But personally, I like the original lyric and I'm glad Kim Walker recorded it. It speaks of both the passion of God and the mess of humanity. It's both divine and gritty, much like the Incarnation itself. And if it makes people stop and think about what they're singing in church, so much the better.

iTunes has both Walker's recording and Crowder's. What about you and your church? Are you singing this song? What lyric do you use? Should this song be on our site?

This release includes 15 brand new offerings, including five great selections for Christmas: "Christmas Candlelight Medley," a beautiful arrangement of "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen," and contemporary treatments of "Joy Has Dawned," "The First Noel" and "Joy to the World!"

Also in this release is the mappable function to classic hymns already online. These titles include some of the most classic, beloved hymns of all time, including "Amazing Grace," "Fairest Lord Jesus," and "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee." Nearly all of the original 975 are now live and mappable.

Non-seasonal offerings from this release include "I Will Glory in My Redeemer" by Steve and Vikki Cook, "Let Your Glory Fall" by David Ruis, "Lion of Judah" by Robin Mark, "Mission's Flame" by Matt Redman, and "Salvation" by Charlie Hall.

Finally, we're excited to say that all of our publishing partners have granted downloadable licenses for songs already in the new Baptist Hymnal. So songs like "All Is Well," "Awesome God," "We Bring the Sacrifice of Praise" and "We Will Glorify" are now live for the first time and completely mappable!

Other improvements have been made to the WorshipMap Pro application. For those of you that like written instructions in your hand, we've created instruction manuals that you can download. We're also trying to make it easier to set up and start using the application by giving you the ability to invite folks by copying email addresses from an existing spreadsheet.

As a reminder, WorshipMap Pro comes with a 30-day free trial period. So, if you haven't subscribed, check it out and let us know what you think.
