As I was looking through one of my old Michael W. Smith - Go West Young Man, I came across a song of his written in 1990. I remember playing it many times on the worship team. Here are the chords and lyrics to Agnus Dei. Have you played it before?

I'm sure you can play the song from the chord chart but I thought I'd post some slash chords and share with you how I play the song. There's a lot of third intervals in the melody to give the song that added harmony because the words are so beautiful to sing and listen to.

I have been playing this beautiful song over and over this week. I love Stuart Townend because his lyrics are so inspiring. You'll want to play, How Deep the Father's Love for Us in the Key of D with 5/4 time signature. It's to be played quietly, so you can play the chording of the song at a memorial service, the offering and deep, reflective worship. Stuart Townend wrote the words and music in 1995.
Stuart Townend is an English Christian worship leader and writer of hymns and contemporary worship music. I especially like, "In Christ Alone." For more information, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Townend
DEmD/F#GD/F#Asus-A
How deep the Father's love for us, how vast beyond all measure
DEmD/F#GD/F#AD
That he should give his only son, to make a wretch his treasure
EmD/F#GD/F#BmA
How great the pain of searing loss, the Father turned his face away
DEmD/F#GD/F#AD
As wounds which mar the chosen one, bring many sons to glory
DEmDGDAsus-A
Behold the man upon a cross, my sin upon his shoulders
DEm-DGDAD
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice call out among the scoffers
EmDGDBmA
It was my sin that held him there until it was accomplished
DEmDGDAD
His dying breath has brought me life; I know that it is finished
DEmDGDAsus-A
I will not boast in anything: no gifts, no power, no wisdom
DEm-DGDAD
But I will boast in Jesus Christ; his death and resurrection
EmDGDBmA
Why should I gain from his reward? I cannot give an answer
DEmDGDAD
But this I know with all my heart: his wounds have paid my ransom
Written by Brent Cambers in 1977, it's in the key of Bb with 4/4 time signature. I will post the arrangement that I have at the end of the post. Are you familiar with this beautiful hymn?

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
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.

It's such a soothing song. I remember playing it once with a young worship leader who had a good
voice. As a keyboard player, I think he wanted me to play with the team using a pad sound.
You know, one of those ethereal voices for background sounds, where you're not in a hurry in between chords.

I love teaching beginners, young children, and adults. I offer piano lessons for ages 3-103 and all levels from primer to advanced. We have a blast with piano games, playing duets, learning songs and theory.
I offer private and group lessons. I am a WunderKeys piano teacher for preschoolers, 3-years-old to Kindergarten. We have 2 recitals, Fall and Spring.
Thank You!
