Ministry use policy

Use the songs. Serve people. Respect the work.

Lift & Light is ministry first. We want ordinary church use to be simple while protecting the songs and recordings from commercial misuse.

Normally permitted

Sing approved Lift & Light songs in regular worship services.
Display approved lyrics on church screens.
Use approved lyric/worship videos during services.
Use approved backing or instrumental tracks when specifically provided for that purpose.
Use songs in prayer, altar ministry, discipleship, youth, family, and similar non-commercial ministry settings.
Include ordinary worship-service performances in non-commercial church livestreams and archived service videos.
Print reasonable quantities of approved lyric/chord resources for internal worship-team use.

Attribution

Where practical, credit the song title, Rammel Larrobis as writer, Lift & Light as artist, and Lift & Light Music as the presenting label/imprint.

Ask first for these uses

Commercial advertising or paid brand campaigns.
Film, television, documentary, game, or other commercial sync use.
Resale or redistribution of Lift & Light recordings or master WAV files.
Uploading the official masters as another artist's release.
Commercial compilation albums, remixes, sampling, sublicensing, or merchandise using substantial lyrics/artwork.
Major lyric rewrites or published translated adaptations.

YouTube & livestreams

YouTube Music: ONOfficial uploads: ONContent ID: OFF initially

This choice is intended to reduce avoidable copyright claims against churches using the songs in good-faith ministry. Turning Content ID off does not give up copyright ownership.

Master recordings

Permission to sing a composition does not mean permission to redistribute the official master recording. Do not download, re-upload, sell, or redistribute Lift & Light master audio unless expressly permitted.

Ownership

The ministry-first principle

If a normal church or ministry use clearly serves worship, prayer, discipleship, encouragement, or pastoral ministry and does not commercially exploit the work, Lift & Light should prefer a simple, ministry-friendly solution.
