How to use this project

This project is made available as a free resource. There are three ways to access these song entries. All are available at the Expository Songs main page:

  1. Song entries are available in a page-by-page listing, much like previous versions.
  2. The main page now has a simple, searchable database.
  3. The most powerful option is the new advanced search.

The advanced search allows you to narrow your searches to find exactly the songs you want. For example, you can find:

  • Isaac Watts hymns from John
  • CCM songs from Psalm 51
  • Scripture Songs from Isaiah (using Main Idea/Quote)
  • Expository Songs that are hymns from Exodus (using Main Idea/Yes and Genre/Hymns)

I welcome feedback and ideas. If there is an artist or a song you think might fit this collection, or if you find a broken link, let me know!
