Dear Administrator

I've been donated and be a member in IMSLP. As a pastor, I plan to use one of your songs, Joyful Joyful arranged by Marshall Fine. It is written by copyright:

Am I okay to use this song for the recorded worship service? If so, what kinds of steps I should follow in addition to adding its composer and copyright anything else? Your advice will be greatly helpful to me.

Thanks!
