#what-wfm-offers
What is Inspirational Music?
We define Inspirational music as music that brightens your life and enlivens your soul. It is music of positive value whose purpose is to uplift thought. It may be sacred or secular.
We like to say that if a song says, “I woke up this morning and I feel good!” — that is an inspirational song.
A purely instrumental work can also be inspirational if it uplifts thought in some way.

Search the Site – 2 Options
Option 1. Simple Search – Search Box
How can I search for music using the Search Box?
If you are looking for a specific title, composer, or recording, our search tool makes it easy—just type your keywords into the Search Box at the top right of any page.
When you search, you may see results across several categories. Here’s how to read them:
- Sheet Music – Digital Sheet Music titles you can purchase, download, and print.
- Albums – Digital Audio Albums available for purchase and download.
- Songs – Digital Audio Single Songs, or Individual Tracks available for purchase and download.
- Other Categories – Sometimes a title or phrase may appear in news blog posts, Artist Profiles, or other areas of the site.
👉 Example: A search for Hast Thou Not Known shows both the sheet music and the recorded version, along with related references in other categories.
Pro Tip: If you want to narrow your results, try putting your search words in quotation marks (e.g., "Hast Thou Not Known"). This helps the system find that exact phrase you need across our full catalog!

WFM Broadcast Licensing
1. About The License
What Is a WFM Broadcast License?
A WFM Broadcast License gives your church permission to use eligible Watchfire Music catalog works in livestreamed, recorded, and other broadcast worship services, within the terms of your plan. This includes online uses such as Hybrid services, Zoom, YouTube, Facebook, and similar service broadcasts, where copyright permissions differ from in-person use.
#what-is-a-wfm-broadcast-license
Why Do We Need to Use One?
Purchasing sheet music or recordings does not by itself grant permission to broadcast that music online. When worship services are livestreamed, hybrid, recorded, or posted online, copyright responsibilities change.
The WFM Broadcast License provides a clear way for churches to use eligible Watchfire Music works in those settings, while ensuring that the creators and rights holders of the music are properly protected and supported.
#why-use-one
What if our church only uses music a few times a year?
We understand that some churches use music occasionally rather than every week.
The WFM Broadcast License is designed as a simple annual license so that churches can include music in their services whenever needed, without requesting permission each time.
Offering individual permissions for each use would significantly increase administrative complexity and cost, which is why we’ve chosen to keep the license straightforward and consistent.
For most churches, this approach is more practical and cost-effective over time.
#few-times-per-year
2. What Music Is Covered
Which works are covered under the WFM Broadcast License?
Works that are available for purchase and download directly through Watchfire Music on watchfiremusic.com are part of the Watchfire Music catalog and are covered under the Broadcast License within your plan terms.
#works-covered
Are all works mentioned in Solo Thoughts covered under the Broadcast License?
No. Some works mentioned in Solo Thoughts may direct you to another source for purchase, such as Sheet Music Plus, Musicnotes, or another outside publisher or seller. Those works are not covered by the Watchfire Music Broadcast License.
#not-covered-in-st-subscriptions
How can we tell whether a suggested work is covered?
The distinction is simple: if the music can be purchased and downloaded directly from Watchfire Music, it is part of the WFM catalog and may be covered under the Broadcast License within your plan terms. If the recommendation sends you to another website or seller, that work is not covered by the WFM Broadcast License.
#how-to-know-what’s-covered
What if a suggested work is not covered by the WFM Broadcast License?
Any needed permissions for works outside the Watchfire Music catalog must be obtained separately through the appropriate licensing source, such as One License, CCLI, or another applicable rights holder or agency.
#what-to-do-with-non-wfm-works
3. Lyrics, Credits, and Service Use
May we show lyrics on screen during the service?
Yes. Lyrics may be shown on screen for in-person attendees and online participants during the service only as part of the temporary service use permitted under the Broadcast License.
#lyrics-on-screen
May we provide printed lyric sheets during the service?
Yes. Churches may provide temporary lyric sheets for use only during the service itself.
#lyric-sheets-for-service
May attendees keep printed lyric sheets after the service?
No. Printed lyric sheets must be collected afterward and destroyed. They may not be kept, copied, archived, posted, or taken home.
#may-not-keep-lyric-sheet
Why must lyric sheets be destroyed — not be kept, archived, posted, or taken home?
Because that would go beyond the temporary service use permitted under the Broadcast License and would constitute unauthorized reproduction or distribution — a copyright violation.
#destroy-lyric-sheets-after-use
What information must we provide on a lyric sheet?
Any lyric sheet used under the WFM Broadcast License should include proper credit for the music, along with a clear notice that the sheet is for temporary service use only.
Proper credit should include, wherever applicable:
- the song title
- the composer and lyricist
- the artist or performing group, if using a recording
- the album title, if applicable
- the producer, if applicable
- the line: “[Song Title] has been used with permission from Watchfire Music.”
- a link to www.WatchfireMusic.com
Credits should be presented in a practical and readable way so that those using the sheet have adequate opportunity to read them.
In addition, because lyric sheets are permitted only for temporary service use, each sheet should also include a notice such as:
This lyric sheet is provided for temporary use during this service only. Please leave it on the pew or return it to an usher after the service. It may not be kept, copied, archived, posted, or taken home.
#music-credits-on-lyric-sheet
4. License Subscription Access
Can more than one person at our church access the Broadcast License subscription for logging purposes?
Yes. We can add additional members under the Broadcast License subscription so that more than one person at your church can access the license information and help manage logging.
#members-of-license-subscription
Can members be added under either a church account or a personal account?
Yes. A member may be added under either the church account or a personal account on Watchfire Music, depending on which login is preferred for access.
#personal-or-church-accounts
Can added members view the same Broadcast License subscription information?
Yes. Members added under the same Broadcast License subscription can view the same subscription information associated with that license.
#same-broadcast-license-info
5. Logging and License Terms
How do we log our weekly WFM music use?
Your church will simply log the eligible Watchfire Music works used in your broadcast services according to the terms of your plan. This helps ensure accurate reporting and supports the proper administration of the license.
See our Preview page: Preview: How Broadcast License Logging Works
#how-to-log-music-use
What counts as one WFM Music Use?
One WFM Music Use means one eligible Watchfire Music work used in one broadcast service, whether by live performance or recorded playback. Total weekly use is counted across all services combined.
#one-music-use
Are in-person services covered by the Broadcast License?
The Broadcast License is intended for livestreamed, recorded, and other broadcast uses of eligible Watchfire Music works. It addresses copyright permissions connected with online and broadcast worship services, where those permissions differ from in-person use.
#in-person-services-not-covered
How long may recordings containing WFM music remain online?
Recordings containing WFM music must be removed within the time period allowed under your license terms. For current WFM Broadcast License terms, recordings must be deleted within 8 days.
#online-recordings-up-to-8-days
#wfm-broadcast-license
Copyright, Permissions & Licensing
When is it necessary to license music from Watchfire Music?
Licensing requirements depend on how the music is being used.
Live music performed in person during church services generally does not require a broadcast license. However, when eligible Watchfire Music works are used in livestreamed, recorded, or other broadcast worship services, a WFM Broadcast License is required for uses covered within that license.
If your intended use falls outside the terms of the WFM Broadcast License, separate permission or a separate licensing arrangement may be required and must be arranged directly through Watchfire Music.
#when-to-license
May music from Watchfire Music be used for church services that are livestreamed, recorded, or broadcast online?
Yes. Eligible Watchfire Music catalog works may be used in livestreamed, recorded, and other broadcast worship services under the terms of the WFM Broadcast License. This includes uses such as Zoom, livestream, webcast, and similar online church broadcasts.
If a work is available for purchase and download directly through Watchfire Music on watchfiremusic.com, it is part of the Watchfire Music catalog and may be covered under the Broadcast License within your plan terms. If a suggested work directs you to another website, publisher, or seller, that work is not covered by the WFM Broadcast License, and any needed permissions must be obtained separately.
If your church needs permission for a use that falls outside the Broadcast License, please contact WFM Support to discuss a separate licensing arrangement.
#music-on-zoom-and-other-broadcast-platforms
Am I allowed to make changes to music and/or lyrics that I purchased?
The lyrics and music of the songs you purchase from Watchfire Music are protected under the copyright laws of the United States. We owe it to our composers and artists to do everything possible to protect the integrity of their work.
Lyrics or music may not be altered without permission from the composer and copyright owner. If you wish to request a change, the proper and legal course is to contact the composer or owner of the intellectual property and request permission. It is then up to the copyright owner to approve or decline that request.
We ask that you observe this courtesy and respect copyright law.
#changing-music-lyrics
What kind of credit must we give when using the music in church services.
We ask that you give Proper Credit where credits are given.
Proper Credit includes the artist’s name or name of the performing group, ( if using a recording), the album title from which the song came, the writers of the song (both composer and lyricist), the producer of the song, and a link to www.WatchfireMusic.com.
Credit must be given within a practical readable duration so that those who are viewing it have ample time to read it and note it if necessary. In all cases whenever possible, there should be a link to www.WatchfireMusic.com. Also the line, “[Song Title] has been used with permission from Watchfire Music.”
#giving-credit
Can I photocopy or scan sheet music instead of buying more copies?
No. Copyright law requires that each musician have their own purchased copy. Please order the number of copies you need.
As per our Terms, every time you purchase keyboard/vocal solo sheet music from us, you are purchasing a license to make 2 copies from your download — for your musicians: one for the singer and one for the accompanist.
For instrumental solo music such as piano and organ preludes, etc. you are purchasing the license to make 1 copy for your musician.
It is against the law to make copies and then share them beyond your intended use.
#copying-music
Can I share my downloads with others?
No. Downloads are licensed to the individual or organization that made the purchase. Sharing files outside that scope is not permitted.
As per our Terms, every time you purchase keyboard/vocal solo sheet music from us, you are purchasing a license to make 2 copies from your download — for your musicians: one for the singer and one for the accompanist.
For instrumental solo music such as piano and organ preludes, etc. you are purchasing the license to make 1 copy for your musician.
It is against the law to share your downloads digitally or otherwise beyond your purchased use.

Our Terms — What you sign off on with every purchase
What are WFM’s Terms And Conditions?
No Return – No Refund – No Exchange Policy
We ask that you carefully double-check your order for accuracy before placing your order. As our customer base grows larger we find that an increasing number of people place inaccurate orders and then request our staff to refund or exchange the intended order. Because of the nature of digital materials, the incorrect order cannot be “sent back”. Once you have the order, it becomes, in essence, un-exchangeable. Consequently, we now remind both new and old customers of our No Return – No Refund – No Exchange Policy. If in any way the error is on us, we will, of course, refund and/or exchange.
Unauthorized uses are infringements of the copyright laws of the United States and other counties and may subject the user to civil and/or criminal penalties.
Vocal Solos and Vocal Bundles
The purchase price of a Vocal Solo or Vocal Bundle entitles you to print Two (2) copies of the digital sheet music file: One (1) for the singer and One (1) for the accompanist.
Unauthorized uses are infringements of the copyright laws of the United States and other counties and may subject the user to civil and/or criminal penalties.
Choral Music
The purchase price of a Choral sheet music title entitles you to print Five (5) copies of the digital sheet music file.
If you have more than Five (5) persons who are using the piece of music, additional copies must be purchased.
For additional members: the choral sheet music titles are available in bundles of Fives (5s).
Unauthorized uses are infringements of the copyright laws of the United States and other counties and may subject the user to civil and/or criminal penalties.
Downloads – Time and Download Limits
We you purchase sheet music or recorded music as downloads, you are actually purchasing the right to download the music within a 90 day period. If you purchase and then fail to download the music within 90 days of your purchase, you will be required to purchase the music again. There are no exceptions.
You also have 15 opportunities to download your purchase.* This is to help you make sure you get the download and can find it within 15 tries.
*Be aware that downloading an MP3 on your iPhone or iPad is not always possible. Unfortunately, Apple is very restrictive with your ability to download files on their mobile devices, so we recommend that you download the file on a computer (Mac or PC), import the song into iTunes and then sync your iTunes library with your iPhone (click here for instructions).
Intellectual Property Policy
The lyrics and music of the songs that you purchase from Watchfire Music are all under the copyright protection laws of the United States government. We owe it to our composers and artists to do everything possible to protect the integrity of their work. It has come to our attention more recently that people are sometimes arbitrarily changing lyrics and/or music to meet their needs. This constitutes the breaking of copyright law. The proper and legal way to handle content changes is to contact the composer and owner of the intellectual property and request that a change be made. Then it is up to the composer to comply or refuse. We ask that you observe this courtesy and respect the copyright law.

We’re primarily an online company, so email is the most efficient way to reach us. This ensures we can track your request and respond accurately. If a phone call is necessary, we’ll arrange one after first connecting by email.
