Absolutely. If you lead worship in a Spanish-speaking congregation or a bilingual church, the Biblia TLA is your best friend for comprehension. Pairing it with EasyWorship 2009 keeps your tech budget low. And the "144 Better" song pack saves you about 80 hours of manual typing and formatting.
One Request: If you find this pack useful, please share it. Pass it to the worship leader down the street. The "144 Better" set was built by the community, for the community. Keep the worship going.
Before we talk about the "144 better," let’s look at the "why."
But EasyWorship 2009 uses a proprietary database format (.ewd). You can’t just copy-paste from a PDF. You need a database.
Since EasyWorship 2009 no longer receives updates, always back up your database (C:\ProgramData\EasyWorship\Data) before importing new content. The “144 better” selection also works in newer versions (2015, 2020).
When using EW2009, the goal is seamless worship. If the congregation is stumbling over "thee" and "thou" (or archaic Spanish equivalents like "vosotros"), the flow breaks.
You might be thinking, "I already have 500 songs. Why do I need these 144?"

Plus, the pack includes often-missing responsive readings (Salmos) and confession prayers.
