Are you looking for contemporary worship songs that reflect  Lutheran theology? 

• That clearly proclaim the gospel? 
• That place the cross at the center of the praise?  
• That point to the real presence in Sacrament of the Altar? 
• That honor God’s gifts in Baptism? 
• That reflect Lutheran worship theology?
• And is really free?

Welcome to True Vine Music, where you will find Lutheran Contemporary worship songs available for free download (mp3s, sheet music, lead sheets, chord sheets, and lyrics).  These songs are all registered with CCLI, so if you have a CCLI license, you can make use of them immediately.

I am Rev. Michael A. Schmid, a Lutheran pastor in Napa, CA, and I have and I have written these worship songs for use in God’s church, and especially the Lutheran Church.  That’s why I’m making them available in this way. 

• One of my songs, “Living Stones” is included in “The Best of the Best in Contemporary Praise & Worship Songbook,” published by Fellowship Ministries.(www.thefellowship.com ). 

• My song “Ablaze,” written for the current Mission Movement in the LCMS by the same name, was performed at the 2004 Lutheran Church Extension Fund (LCEF) Leadership Conference for leaders of the LCEF and the LCMS. 

• "Ablaze" has been included in the Ablaze DVD: Crossing the Jordan, and is also offered as an Ablaze resource on the LCMS website here.

• Another song, “Baptized in His Name” was used at a Hymn Festival at an District Convention of the Iowa East District of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.

My prayer is that these songs will be an enhancement to Lutheran Contemporary Worship.  Whether your congregation is Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS), Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), or another Lutheran body, you will find something of value here.
