Discernment for Christian worship lyrics — written in plain pastoral language.
Paste any worship song. Get a structured read on doctrine, imagery, scripture echoes, and how the song fits your tradition. Concerns are named clearly. So are the song's strengths. Pastors decide what serves their flock — we just help you see what you're singing.
The principle
“A bruised reed he will not break, and a smouldering wick he will not snuff out.”— Matthew 12:20

Allusions and quotations surfaced with chapter and verse, so you can name what the song is reaching for.
Lines that could land hard in your room — for the grieving, the recovering, the chronically ill — flagged with pastoral framing.
Eight optional lenses for the people in your community. Awareness, never avoidance — you decide what serves them.
Notes on the song's relationship to your worship tradition's vocabulary and theological reflexes — affirming and questioning both.
A short pastoral paragraph you can paste straight into a planning note or share with a worship team.
Pastoral Lens
Turn on lenses for the people in your room — grief, recovery, deconstruction, military families, immigrants, the chronically ill, the unhoused, the newly bereaved. Clear Worship surfaces lines that may carry unintended weight and suggests how a pastor might frame them.
We never recommend removing a song. Awareness is the gift; the decision is yours.
Companion tool
See your whole library at a glance. Each dot is a song; position shows doctrinal weight and scripture density; colour marks the dominant theme. Tag the Sundays each song played and the map will show you where your church's worship is drifting — month by month, in plain pastoral language.
