Bible Versions For Easyworship

EasyWorship 7 offers smooth scrolling for Scripture.

EasyWorship comes with several public domain Bible translations (e.g., KJV, ASV, YLT). For modern versions (NIV, ESV, NLT, CSB, etc.), you must purchase and import them separately.

Does your church have a zero software budget? You have options, though they are limited.
