Welcome to River City Music
I want to hear your songs.
You can either go to the Songs page, or the Sheetmusic Store, where most songs have an MP3 file recordings.
I want to use your songs in worship.
If you need copies of notated music (for handouts or binders), you can either:
A) Purchase as many copies as you need at our Sheetmusic Store
B) Purchase one copy at our Sheetmusic Store and get permission to make copies by getting a license from CCLI.
If you are going to project lyrics, you can download lyrics from our Songs page and get permission for lyrics projection (and/or photocopying, etc.) by getting a license from CCLI.
I need lyrics
You can download lyrics from the Songs page.
I need lead-sheets and chord-charts
All of our notated songs (available at our Sheetmusic Store) have Chord Symbols indicated above the staves.
I want to publish a song through River City Music.
We're always looking for good songs. See our Publishing page for more information.
About Us:
We are dedicated to finding, developing and publishing songs from the wealth of non-professional talent in the community of faith. We provide guidance, development and a publishing outlet that touches both the traditional and new-technology channels. Most of our songs are arranged so that they can "scale" in use from small groups and voice-only singing to large productions with full musical backup.
The three founders (Geoff Fawcett, J. Brian Craig, Sherwin Mackintosh) are experienced songwriters and worship leaders. We draw from the richness of 4-part congregational singing in our roots to develop and promote songs that cross styles and worship experiences: traditional and modern hymns, pop/rock power ballads and "vertical" worship songs, simple spirituals, triumphant musical ballads, gospel and other.
If you have an interest in supporting our work or questions about our future plans, please contact us

Our songs are available online at our Songs page and in our Sheetmusic Store.
We plan to release a bound songbook collection in early 2009. Stay tuned.
If you are a church that projects lyrics, we have good news: All of River City Music's songs are registered with CCLI, which provides affordable legal permissions to project lyrics and make copies of our works. So, if your church has a CCLI Church License, you can use our stuff on your projector! If you don't have a CCLI license yet, then it's time to get one! If you need to download lyrics, go to our Songs page.
