I couldn't possibly respond to each and everyone of your
emails but I must say how thrilling it is to see so many
of you write in about how much you are enjoying your church
ministry. There's so many music resources online for you to
find popular Christian Contemporary songs. I have a volume of
charts myself, so that is what I try to share with you.
In response to the many requests I receive, "no", I do not mail
sheet music to anyone in the U.S. or around the world.
You are welcome to do a search on my site and see if I've shared
the chords to the songs you are looking for. Or send me an email,
and I'll see if I have the chord chart in my library of worship
song arrangements.
Best wishes to all the church musicians and blessings on your
ministry. Back to the Scripture in song. Here's my arrangement
that was given to me.
