Christian Lyrics Network

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Christian Lyrics Network (www.christian-lyrics.net) is a Contemporary Christian music site that is focused on legally displaying Christian song lyrics. This site specializes in not only legally displaying lyrics per their agreements with record labels, they also specialize in lyric search. The advanced search functionality on this site lets users search, sort, and find lyrics related to any verse and/or topic.

[edit] History

This site was founded in May of 2004 by an entrepreneur named Jonathan Dingman. After two years of operation, the site created partnerships with record labels such as Tooth and Nail Records, Sparrow Records, Gotee Records, BEC Records, and dozens of other Christian music labels. The site has been successful due to the strength of its partners.

As part of Christian-lyrics.net, Sound Grid Entertainment was created (www.soundgrid.net) as part of the music release program. Since the founding of Sound Grid Entertainment, they have completed interviews with artists such as Shawn McDonald, Shaun Groves, and The Afters, just to name a few.
