The digital text comes from the open-source worshipsongs database by mCruncher (Apache License 2.0); we kept only songs whose every credited writer is long out of copyright, and removed modern additions (such as a modern chorus added to “Amazing Grace”). Chords for “Amazing Grace” and “Blessed Assurance” were added by Free Tamil Christians.

Modern Tamil and English worship songs belong to their writers and publishers. Churches add those themselves and should hold a licence to project them, such as a CCLI Church Copyright Licence.

Additional songs (added November 2026): a separate collection of 14,207 distinct lyrics has been added from a document supplied by the site owner. Only 2 entries contained identifiable writer names; the other 14,205 are marked “Writer credit unavailable”. These additional songs are not described as public-domain or licensed content. Its text, attribution and permission status have not been independently verified. If you are a rights holder and have an attribution or removal request, contact the site owner.

Privacy

The presenter runs in your browser. Your songs, setlists, settings, background images and history are stored on your own device (browser storage). We don’t use cookies, ads or analytics in the presenter.

Two optional features store data on this website’s server. Network room stores the current slide and look so another screen can follow; rooms are deleted after two days without use. Church space stores the songs and setlists you upload, protected by your passphrase (stored only as a secure hash). To delete a church space, upload an empty library or contact us through the site owner.

Shared library, contributors and removals

Registered contributors can submit songs. Each song is reviewed before it is published, and every song slide names the writer. When you register we keep your name, email, phone, church and location so we can create your login and contact you; your name is shown as the contributor of songs you add. Removal requests (name, email and details) are kept so we can review and reply.

If a song in the library belongs to you and you want it removed, use Request removal of a song. We review requests promptly and take songs down when the writer or copyright owner asks.

Chrome extension

FTC Caster asks only for permission to read your display layout (system.display) so it can open the output on the projector you pick. It runs only on freetamilchristians.com/present and collects nothing.
