Using AI Tools for Christian Songwriting & Production
A Practical Guide
Sure, AI can generate songs fast, but are they really songs if you just prompt and release? Without proper care, it often produces vague lyrics, recycled worship phrases, and theology that only feels “almost right.” This guide shows how to use AI as a tool without losing clarity, conviction, or biblical depth so your songs say what you actually mean, clearly, faithfully, and without compromise.
This is a practical guide for Christian songwriters and producers who want to use AI as a helper, without drifting into vague language, generic worship clichés, or “close enough” theology.
What’s included
Clear, usable guidance you can apply immediately. Written to stay practical, conversational, and rooted in Scripture.
How to avoid “AI worship mush”
Spot the common failure modes: vague phrasing, borrowed emotional tropes, generic imagery, and theological drift.
Prompting that stays intentional
Write prompts that communicate real musical intent, plus correction strategies when the output misses.
Practical examples

FAQ
Quick answers to the usual questions.
Should Christians use AI for songwriting?
If it's a tool to spread the Gospel, definitely! If it's a tool for making money, then no.
Do the methods in this guide replace traditional songwriting?
This guide reinforces musicianship first. If you already have lyrics that you want to put to music, or if you have music you want to put lyrics to, this is definitely a tool you can use.
Is this guide only for worship music?
My primary focus is worship music, so that is what this guide really focuses on. However most principles will translate to secular music as well.
What format is it?
PDF. You can read it on desktop, tablet, or phone.
Is this only for Suno?
The principles apply broadly. The examples lean toward AI-assisted songwriting and production workflows, but the core ideas translate.
Can I share it with friends?
I can't stop you from sending it to people, however I'd prefer if you sent them to this site to obtain their own copy. Especially if you plan to post publicly, please link to this page. In case I update it in the future, it'll keep it consistent and everyone will be on the same page, so to speak.
Do I need to be a producer to use this?
No. It’s written to be usable for songwriters first, with production guidance kept practical and readable.
Can I hear some examples of your work?
Sure! Here are a few places where you can hear my music and see how I apply the ideas from this guide:
