Lyrics
The Lyrics workspace holds your songs and sends them to the screens as slides.
Scripture Pod does not include song lyrics. Add only lyrics you have the right to use in your church (for example with a licence such as CCLI).
Songs appear as slides: large cards, a compact grid, or grouped by section. Choose the layout at the top of the workspace or in Settings, Lyrics. Section names such as Verse 1 and Chorus can be shown on each card.
