Wide Open Space by Matthew Cooper

This is such a great song, Wide-Open Space by Matthew Hooper. Watch on YouTube performed by LIFE Worship. I've been listening to a lot of Matthew's songs lately. Here's one that is simple and clear, We Believe. Lots of worship leaders with a tenor voice love to play guitar in E. Try the progression below and sing along.
