This are links for CCLI UK which you can access from anywhere in the world. The US equivalent site requires a CCLI login.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a \u00a0list of all the song catalogues\/administrators\/publications for the UK market covered at http:\/\/www.ccli.co.uk\/resources\/publishers-producers.cfm.<\/p>\n<p>Churches can also contact then directly and they can check their larger complete database if need be. If they do not cover a song the church may need to contact the song owner directly for licensing permissions and reporting.<\/p>\n<p>You might also be interested in the question we have recently posed on our Facebook page where we asked people to say where they get the chord charts from. There are plenty of ideas for online resources in the answers.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Other posts you might find helpful:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicademy.com\/blog\/copyright-issues-in-worship\/\">Ask the expert- what are the copyright implications of adapting secular songs for worship?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; color: #ff6600; text-decoration: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.musicademy.com\/blog\/homegroup-worship-a-lifeless-fire-about-to-go-out\/\">Homegroup worship -a lifeless fire about to go out?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Suitable worship songs for a funeral<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; color: #ff6600; text-decoration: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.musicademy.com\/blog\/ask-the-expert-master-song-list-for-use-in-small-churches\/\">Master songlist for small churches<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial; margin: 0px 0px 18px 0px;\"><a style=\"outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; color: #ff6600; text-decoration: underline; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.musicademy.com\/blog\/instead-of-leading-worship-from-the-front-start-from-alongside-your-congregation-guest-post-from-carlos-whittaker\/\">Instead of leading worship from the front, start from along side your congregation<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial; margin: 0px 0px 18px 0px;\"><a style=\"outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; color: #ff6600; text-decoration: underline; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.musicademy.com\/blog\/top-10-dos-donts-congregations\/\">10 Do\u2019s &amp; Don\u2019ts \u2013 Congregations<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Terry emails with a CCLI reporting request: &#8220;Hi Guys Thanks for all Your hard work in keeping us up to date &amp; on the ball .
