01 / The songbook

Songs to sing.

02 / A little about me
A servant of Christ.
A song to share.
I'm Ryan—a husband, father, church elder, hymn writer, and hobby developer in eastern Kentucky.
I've served as an elder at Manchester Baptist Church, a confessional Southern Baptist church, since October 2019. My work includes teaching, preaching, evangelism, planning worship services, and leading songs.
My hymns focus on theologically rich lyrics and tunes that encourage participation in corporate worship. Away from that work, I’m a weekend homesteader, web developer, and ham radio enthusiast. I once contacted a station in Italy with a wire antenna hung in a walnut tree in my backyard!
I'm husband to BreAnne and father to two daughters, Lydia & Abigail.
Say hello03 / The heart behind the work
For His glory.
For His people.
A hymn about justification. A song of repentance. A tool for reading Scripture. Different kinds of work, with the same prayer: that they would serve the saints.
A voice for the whole church.
Tunes that encourage participation in corporate worship, with words for ordinary believers as well as the choir.
Freely given.
Every song is dedicated to the public domain under CC0, for use by saints and churches. Read the dedication
“My prayer is that some of the resources available here—whether a hymn about justification, or one about repentance; a Bible plan generator; or online audio Bible—will bless you and be useful in your walk with the Lord. Soli Deo Gloria!”Ryan Cornett
Supported, not sold.
Creating and sharing these resources takes time and money. Will you "hold the rope" and help me keep giving?
04 / Beyond the songbook
Other things
I’m building.
Bible reading tools, public domain resources, a little amateur radio, and a few games to keep you thinking.

A game to test your timing skills
About this project
Tap (mouse click or space bar) as close to the target times as possible. Can you tap close enough to the targets for a delta less than one second? If so, you've got skills!

The Baptist Hymnal (opens in a new tab)
(In Progress) Freely given, public domain hymns and psalms
About this project
"The goal of BaptistHymnal.org is simple: to provide public domain hymns & psalms for use in Jesus Christ's churches and believer's homes. We strongly believe that the materials to accomplish that should be free, in the public domain, and easily accessible."
03

Dot Dot Node (opens in a new tab)
A daily strategy puzzle game
About this project

KR4BJN (opens in a new tab)
My amateur radio station site
About this project
I made a fun little page that I hope inspires others to pick up the hobby! Here you can see what I like to do on the air, how I get on the air, the ARRL transmission schedule, Parks on the Air (POTA) activations in my region, and current band conditions. I also built a practice oscillator so you can try out Morse code!
08
Lofi Bible (opens in a new tab)
Bible text and audio with background music
About this project
Read and listen to the BSB or KJV audio Bible with background lofi chill beats and/or lofi "hymns." This was one of the first big hobby projects I finished and the first to garner a donation. (Thanks, Logan!)
09
Manchester Baptist Church (opens in a new tab)
My church!
About this project
I was blessed to be able to make this a few years ago, thus getting us away from the Wordpress CMS (too expensive and unnecessary for our small church). I have learned a lot since then and look forward to making an even better site.

A simple BSB reader
About this project
