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. Of course I change my mind every week on this but I've been playing Holy Is The Lord for quite some time now in all different keys and it is a fun one to play. Do you have a favorite Chris Tomlin song... which one?

Here's a chord chart I found from a very cool site that has a large assortment of songs of various artists. If your interested, just check out this gold mine of resources at http://iwillworship.com

VERSE:
G              C2          Dsus
  We stand and lift up our hands
        G/B        C2          Dsus
For the joy of the Lord is our strength.
G        C2       Dsus
  We bow down and worship Him now.
    G/B        C2         Dsus
How great, how awesome is He.

PRE-CHORUS:
                A7   C2
And together we sing,
         A7   C2
Everyone sing,

CHORUS:
            G    C2    Dsus
Holy is the Lord God Almighty,
    Em7      C2              Dsus
The earth is filled with His glory.
            G    C2    Dsus

    Em7      C2              Dsus
The earth is filled with His glory.

BRIDGE:
     G         D/F#
It’s rising up all around,
         G             C2
It’s the anthem of the Lord’s renown. (repeat) 

And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." Isaiah 6:3

How To Play Be Glorified (Chris Tomlin)

I love the song, Be Glorified by Chris Tomlin. I have played it many times on the worship team. It is so much fun to be with a group of musicians and hear one another's part, especially the bass in this song. Sing along and keep the energy up in the rhythm. Have you heard the song before? Here is the video:

Here's a chord chart I found online. The second one is what I use.

Intro: G, Csus2, Fsus2, Csus2, x2

Verse 1:
G    Csus2     Fsus2    Csus2
Your love  has captured me.

G    Csus2     D
Your grace has set me free;

G    Csus2     Fsus2 Csus2
Your life, the air i breathe.

Am7              D
     Be glorified in me.

G, Csus2, Fsus2, Csus2, x2

Chorus:

Csus2
You set my feet to dancing

G
You set my heart on fire.

       Csus2
In the presence of a thousand kings,

    G
You are my one desire.

Csus2                           Em7       D            Csus2
and i stand before you now with trembling hands lifted high.

Be glorified

G, Csus2, Fsus2, Csus2, x2

Back to verse 1:

Come back in after chorus:

Bridge:

G             G/B  C   D

       G/B  C   D
Be glorified in me,

       G/B  C   D
Be glorified in me,

       G/B  C   
Be glorified

Here's a breakdown of the chords that I play:   

G = G/DGD     Your

C2 = C/ DGC   love has

F2 = F/ CGA   captured

C2/E = E/CDG  me,

G= G/DGD      Your

C2 = C/DGC    grace has

D = D/DF#A    set me free;

G = G/DGD     Your

C2 = C/DGC    life, the

F2 = F/CGA    air I

C2/E = E/CDG  breathe.

Am7 = A/CEG   be glorified

D = D/DF#A    in me.

Play 2 times the following chords:

G = G/BDG

C2 = C/CDG

F2 = F/CFG

C2/E = E/CDG

Then play,

C2 = C/DGC You set my feet to dancing

G = G/BDG You set my heart on fire. -- In the

C2 = C/DGC presence of a thousand kings, You

G = G/DGB are my one desire.

C2 = C/DGB And I stand before You now with

Em = E/EGB trembling

D = D/DF#A hands lifted high.

C2 = C/CDG Be glorified

G = G/BDG

C2 = C/CDG

F2 = F/CFG

C2/E = E/CDG

G = G/BDG

C2 = C/CDG

F2 = F/CFG

C2/E = E/CDG

G = GDG/BDG

Hear and Play not only offers piano courses but you'll find Dvds for drums, organ, voice and guitar.
