What is the correct amount of text for worship lyric slides?
This is a topic that we see come up often as we’re helping churches improve the look of their screen visuals. In most cases, the CMG recommended amount is 2-4 lines of text on each lyric slide. However, we thought it would be a lot of fun to see what churches were actually using in their services.
We recently took a poll in our Facebook Group to see which of the following examples most closely resembled the look of the lyric slides churches used in their worship services. See the results below.

Top Trends
Like the majority of these churches, we recommend keeping your lyric slides at a clean 2-4 lines of text in most cases. This gives your audience enough text to follow along comfortably without displaying so much text that it’s hard to find your place.
