Piano Chords: God Is Able (Hillsong)

"God Is Able is the twentieth album in the live praise and worship series of Christian Contemporary music by Hillsong Church. It was recorded at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in Australia by Reuben Morgan, Darlene Zschech and the Hillsong Worship Team on 7 November 2010. Most of the songs were written by Reuben Morgan, Ben Fielding and Dylan Thomas. Other songwriters include Darlene Zschech, Joel Houston, Harrison Wood, Jill McCloghry, Sam Knock, Joel Davies, Jason Ingram and Chris Tomlin. A collection of fresh sounds and inspiring new congregational anthems is the stage for God Is Able, an offering of worship, a night of passionate praise recorded by the Hillsong team in the hopes that it would bless the Body of Christ."

The Great Morning Sun!

Morning Sun

 I must confess, I am an early riser. How about you? One winter's morning I grabbed
my camera and took this photo of the morning sun.

You can purchase the song at Morning Sun

I wanted to share a different song with you that I found online.
The song is called Morning Sun but it is a completely different one
and it's arranged by Engjengneer23. I'm not sure if the site still exists
but if so, you would find the music at www.mypianotranscriptions.com

The song chart looks something like this and I've added notes for you.
