LadyDpiano: Mighty Is the Power of the Cross

I love to sing this song and play these marvelous chords with sixteenth notes in the right hand, along with single bass notes in the left hand. I play the song in Bb and below you will find a chart for the guitar as well. I wanted to let my musician friends know that HearandPlay offers a great resource, Guitar301.

Do you have a favorite Chris Tomlin song? From a few former posts, you can take a look at Unfailing Love and Be Glorified for the chords. With Easter approaching towards the end of the month, I think I'll post more songs for Easter on my blog such as The Wonderful Cross and Amazing Grace.
