Christian song lyrics of gospel music are songs written to express a person's belief regarding Christian life, as well as to give a Christian alternative to main stream music. Currently, a Christian song can be broken into several categories: Hymns, Contemporary Christian music, and Christian alternative rock. Additional popular categories are Gospel music and Southern Gospel music. a Hymn is a song that is specifically written for the purpose of praise, adoration or prayer. A Contemporary Christian song would be the closest sounding style to pop or Top 40 music. It is by far the greatest selling of all the categories. It consists of a variety of styles that focus on strictly spiritual topics, such as prayer and praise. Christian Alternative rock would have a rockier edge to it. Gospel Music is divided into two types of songs. Urban Gospel would be similar to pop and r&b. Traditional Gospel music features more of a choir sound. Southern Gospel has a country sound and uses gospel quartets. Interestingly, the only 4 grammy awards Elvis won were for his Southern Gospel albums.

Lyrics are the words in songs. Christian song lyrics can be written as the accompanying music is composed, or added afterwards. Sometimes, however, music is adapted to or written for a song or poem that has already been written. A person who writes lyrics is called a lyricist. The meaning conveyed in lyrical verses can be explicit or implicit. Some lyrics are so abstract as to be completely unintelligible. In such cases, there is a tendency to emphasize the form, articulation, meter, and symmetries of the expressions.

The word lyric came to be used for the "words of a popular song"; this meaning was recorded in 1876. The plural lyrics was used only in referring to the words of multiple songs; to refer to the words of a single song as its lyrics instead of its lyric was considered erroneous. Even so, such usage became increasingly common (probably because of the association between lyrics and the plural form words), and is predominant in modern usage of today's society. Use of the singular form lyric is still grammatically acceptable; it is still considered erroneous to refer to an individual word in a song as a lyric.
