Learn To Play 10, 000 Reasons

 Over the summer I attended Jesus Culture in Long Beach, California. The huge hall quickly filled up with young people and the worship band began to play this beautiful song by Matt Redman.

We stayed at a beautiful place called the Westin Hotel. The facilities were grand and we walked a short distance to the conference. I hope you get the chance to hear this particular song in corporate worship. Perhaps you've played it on the worship team. If you're not familiar with the melody, here it is on YouTube.

C         G           D       Em
The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning;
C            G            D     Em
It's time to sing Your song again.
C            G              D           Em
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me,
C2         G                Dsus4 D  G   Gsus4 G >> Chorus
Let me be singing when the even- ing comes.


C       G                D        Em
You're rich in love, and You're slow to anger.
C       G               D         Em
Your name is great, and Your heart is kind.
C        G                D       Em
For all Your goodness, I will keep on singing;
C2           G              Dsus4 D  G    Gsus4 G to chorus

Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find. 

 C       G           D            Em
And on that day when my strength is failing,
C         G            D         Em
The end draws near, and my time has come;
C        G                   D        Em
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending:
C2           G                 Dsus4  D  G  Gsus4 G to Chorus
Ten thousand years and then fore - - vermore!

Coda:
Em   C            D      Em
I'll worship Your holy name.
C            D       G
Yes, I'll worship Your holy name.

It's a real easy song to play. For a C chord, I use this 

inversion (G-C-E) and for a G chord, play (D-G-B)

3 'You Are' Songs with Chords

Photo Credit: Leo Reynolds

Many of you tell me that you're playing for your church and that you are with a worship band. That it so nice to hear and I thank you for sharing with me. I have lots of chord charts that I've saved over the years that mostly are in the Key of G, D and E. There's a few I have in A. The cool thing is that if you know how to play in all the keys, then it doesn't matter what key the worship leader chooses to sing in because you know your theory. Many of you understand the 'number system.' I'll talk about that some more at another time but here's a few oldies that I remember... the songs start with Y.

1. You Are My All In All 

performed by Aaron Shust and written by Dennis Jernigan

            G               C
You are the treasure that I seek
           G   D  G   D
You are my all in all

G           D             Em
Seeking You as a precious jewel
             G            C

           G   D  G   D
You are my all in all


G  D    Em      G    C     G        D 
Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is Your name
G  D    Em      G    C      D       G
Jesus, Lamb of God, worthy is Your name


G         D                 Em
Taking my sin, my cross, my shame
       G                   C
Rising again, I bless Your name
           G   D  G   D
You are my all in all

G           D                 Em
When I fall down, You pick me up
          G                C
When I am dry, You fill my cup
           G   D  G   D

3. YOU ARE MY KING by Chris Tomlin
Christian Songwriters

D/F#      G2             Asus                  A
I’m forgiven because You were forsaken
D/F#     G2     Asus               A
I’m accepted, You were condemned
D/F#   G2                      Asus            A
I’m alive and well, Your Spirit is within me
       G2           A                    D      
Because You died and rose again.

     D                         G
   Amazing love, how can it be,
     D                              Asus A G/A
   That You my King would die for me?
     D                     G
   Amazing love, I know it’s true,
     D                       Asus  A G/A
   And It’s my joy to honor You,
             G   A              D
   In all I do, I honor You.
(2x)

D                       (G)
You are my King
You are my King

YouTube video of You are My King.

So, keep in mind these three charts are used in a band so everyone is on the same page. Keyboard players will want to play in a different register, upper range most likely and sometimes drop some bass notes. Remember, if you're soloing for the offering or playing songs at weddings, etc. you can always stylize and embellish when playing in another key, like Eb.

Jeremy Camp: Beautiful One

I love this song and have enjoyed playing it through the years with many worship teams. Usually we were backing up a worship leader who had a golden tenor voice. So, we played this song in the Key of G and also the Key of E.

I believe the words and music to Beautiful One are by Tim Hughes.

How To Play Blessing, Honour and Glory

 Beautiful sunrise photo from our view that I just happened to see one morning. The picture of hope with radiant sunbeams reminded me a song produced in 1992 with words and music by Geoff Bullock, called Blessing, Honour and Glory.  I have such wonderful memories playing the song and singing it on the worship team. I wondered if you're familiar with it. Here I am playing it on my Yamaha Motif ES8.

Holy,     righteous,       worthy is the Lamb.

VERSE:
G                 Bm7      A

Casting Crowns: Who Am I

Casting Crowns (album) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

I'm a big fan of Casting Crowns. In a former post, I shared the chord progressions with you, to the song Voice of Truth. Now I'd like to share the chords to Who Am I that was written in 2003 by Mark Hall. The song is played in the key of Bb, moderately slow in 2.

Casting Crowns

Verse 1
       C           G               Am
Who am I? That the Lord of all the earth,
      G               F           G               F     
Would care to know my name, would care to feel my hurt,
       C           G                  Am
Who am I? That the Bright and Morning Star,
      G                   F           G              F 
Would choose to light the way, For my ever wandering heart,
    Am               G       F                      G
Not because of who I am, but because of what You've done,
    Am                   G         F                  G
Not because of what I've done, but because of who You are,


Chorus

C      G              Am           G              F 
I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow,
  G                  F                             C
A wave tossed in the ocean (ocean), a vapor in the wind,
          G                Am                 G                 F 
Still You hear me when I'm calling, Lord, You catch me when I'm falling,
           G             F 
And You've told me who I am.. 
     C
I am Yours.

Verse 2

       C           G                Am
Who am I? That the eyes that see my sin,
      G               F         G             F   
Would look on me with love, and watch me rise again,
       C           G                     Am
Who am I? That the voice that calmed the sea,
      G                    F         G                 F    
Would call out through the rain, and calm the storm in me,
    Am               G       F                      G
Not because of who I am, but because of what You've done,
    Am                   G         F                  G
Not because of what I've done, but because of who You are,

How To Play Don't Grow Weary

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Eighth_notes_and_rest.png original description follows. Two eighth notes (stems up and down) and an eighth rest on the staff. Created for the eighth note article. *Author User:Merphant Recreated in SVG fomat. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

A long time ago, I had the privilege of being on the worship team at New Venture Christian Fellowship. One of the highlights (way too many to count) was learning a song, Don't Grow Weary. It was written ©1993 Integrity's Hosanna! Music by Martin J. Nystrom and Don Harris. I loved playing this song on the keyboard. Here are the chords I found online and in the second chord chart I'll add more chords and show you what I'm playing. It's pretty easy going (probably a little corny nowadays but not a fast pace, pump up the crowd type of song. Do you recognize it?

Oh, and I wanted to mention another famous worship song, As The Deer, written by Martin J. Nystrom (along with chords) can be found here

Key: E

E
Don't grow weary in doing well,
E                A        B
don't surrender in the fight;
A        E
Keep on storming the gates of hell,
C#m7    F#m7   A         B        E
Keep on doing what you know is right.


     A              E/G#         F#m
For there will be seasons of testing,
E    A            B              C#m  B  C#m
and there may be weeping for a night;
      A            E/G#           F#m7
But soon we'll be reaping the blessing,
            A    E    A             Bsus   B
if we keep pressing on toward the prize.


E
Keep on praying in the Spirit,
E                A         B
keep on walking in the light;
A          E
Don't be fearful or discouraged,

keep on doing what you know is right.
