LadyDpiano: Oceans

A very popular song with my teenage piano students is Hillsongs, Oceans. Do you love it, too?
Here are the chords to this beautiful song. I am looking forward to playing an air pad voice setting on the keyboard while backing up a very special vocalist at our church, playing with the worship team.

Here's a video of the song just in case you're not familiar with this one.

Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) Chords: Hillsong l LadyDpiano.com

I absolutely love this song, Oceans by Hillsong. It sounds so cool to play on an ethereal voice setting on the keyboard. The chords are fairly easy to play and if you have the voice to go with it, it's a keeper for worship and praise, for sure. It's such a great experience to play live with a worship team. I'd love to hear from some of you, regarding your experiences as a church musician. Anyway, do hope you enjoy the song. My students, mostly teenagers really like this one.
