WHAT WE DO
River City Music publishes Christian worship songs that extend our rich heritage of congregational, four-part singing into the contemporary worship experience.
Our songs are available in print and digital format and can be legally copied and projected as described in Permissions To Use Songs.
Our songs emphasize:
– Arrangements that can be sung easily with voices-only
– Timeless truths, thoughtful lyrics
– A variety of modern and traditional styles
– Guitar-friendly keys and notated chords for guitar/keyboard
– Mainly amateur songwriters
