Our Commitment: "We have both a spiritual and moral obligation to respect the intellectual property rights of others. Our purpose is to promote the Gospel music industry, not to violate it."

Copyrighted Content & Fair Use

We do not condone the republishing or reprinting of lyrics other than for personal, educational, or religious devotion purposes. The lyrics on Sifa Lyrics are submitted by our community members and reviewed by editors.

In the event that Fair Use is not justifiable for specific content, we sincerely regret the infringement and will respond immediately to removal requests. We are also open to licensing agreements where required to support artists directly.

Public Domain Content

Content in the public domain (e.g., Hymns, KJV Bible, Swahili Union Version) is not subject to copyright restrictions. We provide these resources freely for the edification of the body of Christ.

We do not host or promote secular music intentionally. However, auto-generated links to music stores (like iTunes) may occasionally reference an artist's secular discography if they produce both genres.
