Do you have such and such song?

Everything we have is on the site, so if it's not here, we don't have it yet. Be sure to do a search of the site. Sometimes the song title may be different than what you know it as. We suggest doing a Song title search or Artist search first and then do a lyrics search for key phrases. If you still can't find the song, please figure it out and send it in!

Return To Top... How do you get your music?

All songs charted here are either from the publisher, songwriter or the interpretation of chartists such as yourself, based on existing, listened to, recorded arrangements. Therefore some charts may not be written original works but merely guidelines. "Original" means merely that the author produced the work by his own intellectual effort, as distinguished from copying an existing work. These charts are merely a guide and have no melody, arrangement, time signature or notation. RWTC does not allow recorded music of any kind to be used on its service unless under strict legal permission.

Return To Top... Why can't I cut-n-paste a song?

We have reformatted the songs (chord charts only) to have the ability to display in different fonts and sizes. In order to do this, we had to work some web magic to make it display properly. However, by making it look pretty for display as well as printing, the ability to highlight the song for cutting-n-pasting becomes unusable (due to the way your browser copies the text).

To eliminate this frustrating process of highlighting strangely formatted song text, we have turned off your browser's click-n-drag highlighting ability.

The Solution: The answer is an easier way for you copy the song. We have put a button right at the top of each song that looks like this:

When you click this button, the song is copied into your computer's clipboard feature (song title, chords/lyrics, and copyright information) for you. You can then paste the song in whatever application you want (Word / Powerpoint / etc).

NOTE: This copied text was pre-formatted for display in Courier New (monospaced fonts) only.  Which means, the chords will appear shifted in other fonts (such as Times New Roman, Arial, etc).  You will likely need to move the chords slightly to align them properly.

However, if we have ruined your click-n-drag highlighting fun, there is a way you can still do this.  To return to the previous display format, change your font to Courier New.  You may now highlight and hit Ctrl-C to do your song copying.  The print page will now work for this as well.

Return To Top... What do these icons mean? Return To Top... Do you have bass tab for praise & worship music?

You can use the chorded version to improvise bass tab. A good way to start is to use the root notes of the chords. When you work out some good lines for any of the praise music, be sure to send it in.

Return To Top... Do you have tab for such and such instrument?

I haven't been able to find tab for anything besides guitar, bass, and horns. This includes piano and drums. You can use the tabs that are in chord version to try to write your own version. The reason there aren't any drums or piano music is that there is no way to display them in standard text file format so that they can be read on any computer.

Return To Top... What are your responsibilities as a user?

Rockin With The Cross (RWTC) is a subscription service offered by 1Christian.net (1CN) and is based on the streaming content law (“offline Playlist”), in reference to streaming content and tethering and 30 day limitations. 1CN is confirming that the methods utilized in the delivery system of the content are legally established and accepted methods of content delivery.

The RWTC archive does not contain music, notation, melody lines, or time signatures, unless otherwise stated or delivered in its service or in a payment per song (a la carte). A La Carte downloads may be made available to end users pursuant to 1CN’s licenses with publishers and/or song owners. 1CN supplies legal lyric content to which it hereby confirms has required distribution and licensing rights. Our charts display methods and systems whereby letters and numbers are used to give concepts and ideas or patterns. This method is herein referred to as "Chord Charts" and "Tablature." Mathematical principles, formulas and algorithms were developed to change letters or graphs that are used to chart – herein referred as the term "transposing."

All songs charted here are either from the publisher, songwriter or the interpretation of chartists, based on existing, listened to, recorded arrangements. Therefore some charts may not be written original works but merely guidelines.

You the user have responsibilities when using the service: The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use," that user may be liable for copyright infringement. You may not copy or file share from the service unless imported to a third party service affiliated and in agreement with this service. Churches and ministries using the service for performance must procure a license that covers the legal performance you do on a weekly basis in services and ministries events.

When you perform any of these tabs or chord sheets in services and ministries events, it may be necessary for the performer/church to secure a performance copyright license. If you exceed "fair Usage" for ministry 1CN purposes using a copyright service that will enable legal use.

1CN pays royalties for your use of songs from your membership on its platform, not to preform them in a live setting. Additional services handle the required royalties due to the songwriters and publishers for public usage and performance. The performance, copying, projection, etc of the songs is covered by certain copyright services. You do not need a performance license to practice songs.

Return To Top... The site tells me I'm logged-in BUT every time I go to get a tab I'm sent back to the "My Account/My Profile" page. How do I fix this?

First, before you log in again, please go to the site and click the LOG OFF button. Then log in again with your user id and password.

If that does not work, please make sure you don't have "cookies" turned off and that your security levels are not set so high as to prevent you from using the "cookie". We place a "cookie" on your machine when you log in so that our server knows that you have logged in. If your machine forbids us from doing that then the result is the problem you are seeing. To correct this in Internet Explorer, left click on Tools on the menu bar, double left click on Internet Options, left click on the privacy tab, near the bottom of the open box there is a section that says web sites, click the button in that section that says edit, in the next window about one-third of the way down the box there is a one line white box titled address of web site - in that box type "1Christian.net", left click on allow and then left click on ok. That should fix your problem without adjusting your overall privacy setting. If you are not using Internet Explorer, go to your control panel and find Internet Options and follow the above directions from there.
