Lutheran evaluation of individual new songs

The Texas District of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod offers a handy tool for congregations using contemporary songs from a range of sources. A song evaluation chart, which evaluates each song as to whether it conveys the Lutheran sacramental and/or teaching thought about:
  • Communion
  • Baptism
  • Confessions
  • Holy Trinity
  • Doctrine
  • Forgiveness/Redemption
  • Law and Gospel
as well as whether it is singable by a congregation.

Unlike some other resources this resource offers practical help to those people and congregations bringing God's word to people through new songs.

You can obtain a copy of this chart at
