If it is true that songs after a period of time are no longer copyright protectable, I would like to find such a source for gospel music that could be played for a congregation.

If a copyright holder feels that their material has been used without due consent it may not cut any ice with them that it was an honest mistake (even though it should - the problems with Christians going to law against each other are comprehensively addressed in 1Cor 6:1-11), so it's much better to avoid the error in the first place.

I mean realistically, you can google this and find any free downloads from there, another one would be to stream it from something like youtube depending on the video I guess.
