Not sure if this is the right forum - so many to choose from! 
Anyway I'm just getting started with the bass, but I'm looking to augment my practice with some actual songs. Looking for some contemporary worship songs that I can get some music for, but also allow me some flexibility to work in some of my own "flavor" where appropriate.
Where can I find this stuff? Don't mind paying if I need to - free is always good but some things its tough to put a price on. |

I have audio but being a total beginner I need a starting point. |

You might try activebass.com or christianguitar.org. They both carry tab for contemporary worship songs.

Worship Band Play along, volume 1 "Holy is the Lord" Bass Edition features songs Agnus Dei, Be Unto Your Name, God of Wonders, Holy is the Lord, It is You, Open the Eyes of My Heart, We Fall Down, and You Are Holy.
Comes with a CD that has demo tracks and a track without the bass part. Also includes a version of Amazing Slow Downer to reduce the tempo of the track without altering the pitch. ISBN 9781423417149
Volumes 2 and 3 are scheduled for publication soon.
And no I'm not with Hal Leonard.

I have audio but being a total beginner I need a starting point. | "How Great is Our God" seems to be another contemporary favorite for most congregations that I've played for.
