ccmlyrics.com launched

July 26th, 2006

It’s taken a lot longer than I had initially hoped, but today I was finally able to launch ccmlyrics.com, with an initial article looking at the lyrics to “What if His people prayed?” by the Casting Crowns.

Originally, CCMLyrics had been planned as a lyrics search engine and a friend and I actually spent a lot of time developing a rather sophisticated search technology that worked really well. That was about four years ago… we then realized that there was no way for us to legally make these lyrics available from our site and as Christians we felt that we should be setting an example and not breaking the law. So the domain(s) lay dormant for a long time, until earlier this year I decided to transform it into a blog on lyrics instead. It’s still loosely based on the original design, but updated to work with modern blogging software (running WordPress like this site). I’m very happy that it’s finally online and so I hope that many of the regular visitors here will also visit ccmlyrics.com frequently – maybe add it to your RSS feeds now.

I guess this means that in the future, you will find christian music reviews over on the new site, although I may still link to them from here as well for your convenience.
