Most churches purchase something called a CCLI (Church Copyright License - ccli.com) which covers projection, song sheets, recording the service etc. So an iPhone app would need to pay some kind of fees to the copyright holder for the music and lyrics. That seems like a facet of the app which would be hard for the app store reviewers to verify.

No offense, but if it wasn't legit to put the lyrics on a web site or app, then how do professional musicians like myself cross reference the words to songs that they're going to perform. For exampel, I'm a worship leader in a church. Yes, we obbviously have to worry about copyright and what not, but I've never heard anything about lyrics being placed on a web site as being illegal. Now, if you post the music itself... that's a completely different story. I've been using google to find lyrics like crazy for our worship services, but just figured this way might would be a bit easier. Plus, when at rehursals, I could look them up on the fly with my phone, if needed.
