How To Play Thrive by Casting Crowns

My husband loves the song "Thrive" by Casting Crowns. Another favorite that my readers enjoy, Praise You In This Storm seems to be so comforting and hopeful when one is going through rough times. One of my favorites is Who Am I by Casting Crowns.

Here's the video to Thrive if you're not familiar with the song.

WeWorship: Praise You In This Storm

Have you ever experienced disappointment or perhaps you have been enduring a long, hard trial? Well, I found the words to this Casting Crowns song, Praise You In This Storm, to be so comforting. Sometimes all that one can do is to lift ones hands to the Lord as a sign of surrender, of worship and praise. Oh, to trust Him with all things... even our very own lives and especially with our loved ones.

Hope you enjoy the song. Here in SoCal we just came out of a huge rain and wind storm where we had 60 m.p.h. winds. No damage to our property but it will forever be memorable celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary through the storm!

The 9th Chord

We have learned that triads such as major, minor, augmented and diminished chords are 3-note chords. Hence, the word triad. When we add one or more note to a chord, we call them "extended chords." Chords like minor 6ths and 7ths have an extra note that extends beyond the triad. When you get to the 9th chords and beyond, you have 5 or more notes in the same chord.

English: Description of triads (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

All 9th chords (C9, G9, D9, F9, A9, B9, Ab9, Eb9, Db9, Gb9, Bb9, etc.)

Ninth chords are five-note chords that span the usual intervals up to a ninth (root-3-5-7-9); and most often, the ninth interval remains major, even in minor 9th chords.

Read what Jermaine Griggs says about ninth chords.

The major 9th chord is basically a major 7th chord with one extra note added - the major 9th.

Playing the major 9th chord is easy. Just play a major 7th chord, and add a note that is an interval of a major 9th from the root note of the chord. Another way to think about it is by using a formula of half steps. Below is the formula for the major 9th chord.

Root + 4HS + 3HS + 4HS + 3HS

You can play the major 9th chord in all twelve keys. Below is a list of all 12 major 9th chords.

Key of C: C, E, G, B, D

Key of G: G, B, D, F#, A

Key of D: D, F#, A, C#, E

Key of A: A, C#, E, G#, B

Key of E: E, G#, B, D#, F#

Key of B: B, D#, F#, A#, C#

Key of Gb: Gb, Bb, Db, F, Ab

Key of Db : Db, F, Ab, C, Eb

Key of Ab: Ab, C, Eb, G, Bb

Key of Eb: Eb, G, Bb, D, F

Key of Bb: Bb, D, F, A, C

Key of F : F, A, C, E, G

Here is an example of a Casting Crowns song, Friend of Sinners.

(C9) (G) Em D

We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing

G C9 G

Jesus friend of sinners the truth's become so hard to see

C9 G Em D

The world is on their way to You but they're tripping over me

Always looking around but never looking up I'm so double minded

C9 G D

A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided

Chorus:

Jesus friend of sinners the one who's writing in the sand

C9 G Em D

Make the righteous turn away and the stones fall from their hands

G C9 G

Help us to remember we are all the least of thieves

C9 G Em D

Let the memory of Your mercy bring your people to their knees

Prechorus:

C9 G - D

Nobody knows what we're for only what we're against when we judge the wounded

C9 G - D

What if we put down our signs crossed over the lines and love like you did

-Chorus x1 -

Bridge 1 -

Am C

You love every lost cause; you reach for the outcast

G D

For the leper and the lame; they're the reason that You came

Am C

Lord I was that lost cause and I was the outcast

G D

But you died for sinners just like me a grateful leper at Your feet

Bridge 2--

G G C9 D

You are good, You are good And Your love endures forever x4

And I was the lost cause and I was the outcast

You died for sinners just like me, a grateful leper at Your feet

Learn How To Play American Dream

Cover of Casting Crowns

In 2003, Mark Hall and Hector Cervantes wrote American Dream. The sheet music for the piano is in the Key of D. I've been playing the piano for quite sometime now and have found that the D5 piano chord is really easy to play. Do you have a favorite Casting Crown song? One of my favorites that I have blogged about earlier is, Voice of Truth.

American Dream by Casting Crowns

Intro 
D               Bm                         D
All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy
                Bm                            D      
But all work no God has left Jack with a lost soul
               D
But he's moving on full steam
Bm                               D
He's chasing the American dream
                              Bm            
And he's gonna give his family finer things

Maybe Tomorrow we'll have time to play 
                       Bm             D
And then he slips into his new BMW
                          Bm                       E
And drives farther and farther and farther away

Pre-chorus 1
E                     G                          D
'Cause  he works all day and tries to sleep at night 
E                             G                D
He says things will get better; better in time

Chorus 
D                  Gm                   Bm          
'Cause he works and he builds with his own two hands
D            Gm               Bm                  
And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand 
D             Gm             Bm             
But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in 
D             Gm                          D      D Bm Gm
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
               D Bm Gm
His kingdom stands

Verse 2
D                   Bm
His American dream is begining to seem 
D                             Bm
More and More like a nightmare
                       D
with every passing day
                                 Bm
"Daddy, can you come to my game?" 
                                   D
"Oh Baby, please don't work late."
                         Bm
Another wasted weekend
                           E
And they are slipping away
Pre-Chorus 2
E                     G                          D
'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night 
E                             G                
He tells them  things will get better
                                    D
It'll just take a little more time

Chorus

Verse 3
D                              Bm          
He used to say, "Who ever died with the most toys wins."
D                         Bm
But if he loses his soul, what has he gained in the end
D
I'll take a shack on a rock 
Bm                        E
Over a castle in the sand


Pre-chorus 3
E                     G                          D
Now he works all day and cries alone at night 
E                             G                
It's not getting any better 

Looks like he's running out of time

How To Play: If We Are the Body

Photo Credit: Cory Morse

In 2003 Mark Hall wrote a moderately fast song called, If We Are The Body. I like it!

If We Are The Body

(Capo 2)

G   G Gmaj7 G Gmaj7 (x4)    {Gmaj7 are hammered on and off}

       Em7                Csus2
It's crowded in worship today
            A7Sus4   Asus4          Csus2          Dsus4/F#
As she slips in           trying to fade into the faces
    Em7                       Csus2             
The girls teasing laughter is carrying 
                   A7Sus4 Asus4
Farther than they know
                  Csus2   Dsus4/F#
Farther than they know, Lord


(Chorus)
       G
But if we are the body
               Dsus4/F#
Why aren't His arms     reaching?
                Em7
Why aren't His hands healing?
               Csus2  
Why aren't His words teaching?
       G
And if we are the body
               Dsus4/F#
Why aren't His feet       going?
            Em7             Dsus4/F#             Csus2
Why is His love not showing them       there is a way?


           Em7 {4 measures}
There is a way.



   Em7                      Csus2
A traveler is far away from home
         A7Sus4   Asus4               
He sheds his coat         
             Csus2          Dsus4/F#
And quietly sinks into the back row
     Em7                       Csus2               
The weight of their judgmental glances
                A7Sus4 Asus4                
Tells him that his chances     
                      Csus2  Dsus4/F#
are better out on the road


(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Dsus4/F#              Em7      A7Sus4    Csus2     
Jesus            paid much too high    a price
                                     Dsus4/F#
For us to pick and choose who should come
               Em7  A7Sus4       Csus2
And we are the bo - - -dy of     Christ


(Chorus) x2

             Em7 {3 measures}
Jesus is the way

I like to play this song in the Key of A.

Dm7                        Bb6/9  Bb(add9)     Eb              Bb
realm of the unknown where Jesus is and he's holding out his hand but the 
C          Bb                          Fsus2     F     C           Bb
waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me reminding me of all the 
           Fsus2              F          C                 Bb          Bb    
times i've tried before and failed the waves they keep on telling me time 
     C      Dm          Bbsus           C(add2)         F
and time again "boy you never win, you never win"

Chorus:

F                    C(add4)                          Dm                Bbsus2
   But the voice of truth tells me a different story the voice of truth 
                     F                     C/E                         Dm
says "Do not be afraid" and the voice of truth says "This is for my glory" 
                       Bbsus2           Dm                 Bbsus2
out of all the voices calling out to me i will choose to listen and believe 
      Fsus2      F
the voice of truth 

Verse 2:

Fsus2             F               Dm11               Dm7   
oh what i would do to have the kind of strength it takes to stand before a 
Bb6//9  Bb(add9)     Eb         Bb       Fsus2            F             
giant with just a sling and a stone surrounded by the sound of a thousand 
Dm11      Dm7              Bb6/9 Bb(add9)             Eb              
warriors shaking in their armor wishing they'd have had the strength to 
 Bb           C              Bb                  Fsus2     F    C
stand but the giants calling out my name and he laughs at me reminding me 
    Bb            Fsus2    F                    C                 Bb
of all times i've tried before and failed the giant keeps on telling me 
 Bb      C      Dm            Bbsus2           C2                   F
time and time again "Boy, you never win, you never win"
																			
									
So, the chord I'm playing (gotta' know your chords):

Fsus2 = FC/CFA

Dm11 = D/CA

Bb6/9 = Bb/CG or Bb/GCF

Bb(add9) = Bb/CF

Eb = EbBb/BbEbG

Bb = BbD/BbCF  or BbF/DC

C = CG/EC

Dm = DA/DFBb

Bbsus2 = BbF/CG

C(add2) = CG/DEA

F = F/CFGAC

C4 = C/FCEG

I'm going on vacation and will be back soon. A prayer for you and me. Psalm 40:11
