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            D                 Em
You are my strength when I am weak
            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
Lord to give up, I'd be a fool
           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
You are my all in all

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

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.

How To Play Holy Is The Lord

English: Chris Tomlin performing a concert in Johnson City, Tennessee, November 2007. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

 One of my favorite worship songs from Chris Tomlin... I know it's so hard to choose but I like Holy Is The Lord.

Charlie Hall: Center

Charlie Hall, the musician, is a Christian worship leader and songwriter from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. 
He is a member of a group of musicians and speakers that collectively form the Passion movement.

 Center was written in 2005 with Generation Music. I like the song because it's mellow and just flows peacefully.

Here are the chords to the song:

Verse: E You're the center of the universe B A Everything was made in You Jesus E Breath of every living thing B A Everyone was made for You PreChorus:    A B You hold everything together A B You hold everything together Chorus:    E E/D# A Christ be the center of our lives B E be the place we fix our eyes E/D# A be the center of our lives Tag:    E E/D# We lift our eyes to heaven A we wrap our lives around Your life E E/D# A we lift our eyes to heaven to You Other:    E E/D# A Turn your eyes upon Jesus, A Bsus Look full in His wonderful face, E E/D# And the things of earth A will grow strangely dim, E A E In the light of His glory and grace.

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.

Chris Tomlin: Not To Us (Chords)

Image by bemky via Flickr
 Not To Us by Chris Tomlin and Jesse Reeves (words and music) was written in 2001. It was recorded a half step lower. I have chord charts for this great song in the Key of G and Key of A. I wanted to focus this particular chord chart in the Key of C because I get lots of requests from beginners and also from those folks who may be longing to play in another Key other than C Major. Before we go on, let's take a look at this song and see if we know our chords and chord progression in C.
