Words that rhyme with Liturgy
There's a particular shape to liturgy: three-syllable, built on the short /ɪ/, ending that ends on an unbuttoned vowel. Common words like this gain weight from the company they keep on the line. Songwriters reach for it as a quotidian anchor. No strict pair turns up at all, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the assonance options multiply into the thousands. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why liturgy rhymes the way it does
Liturgy is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the high /ɪ/, then it leaves the vowel hanging open. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 52, assonance 11,137, and consonance 7. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Liturgy works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
