Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is the way we play it at my church, I use a light overdrive, or in some cases just the neck pickup, and a dotted eighth delay set at 112, or you can tap it out. The hardest thing about this song was the timing, and I would definitely finger pick everything until the strumming in the later part of the song. This is the rhythm part. This whole song is played on the D G and B strings. Any questions feel free to email me at [email protected], special thanks to Thomas for help with some of the chord shapes!
On the transitions from the F to the G while finger picking, I let the chord ring and re-strike the D string and slide up to the G, when going from the G to the Am, I just hammer on the D and B strings. In the verse the G is only played for one count.
Use those chords through the whole song, whether strumming or finger picking it's really simple once you get the hang of it. Now here's the pattern of the song I use.
Intro: C
C From the highest throne
To the earth below F You laid down Your life GAm For the likes of us CBmC Great is the love of the Savior
C From a wounded heart
To a life made whole F Every human heart GAm Will declare as one CBmC Great is the love of the Savior
FC Lord of endless light GBm Let Your glory shine forever F All the earth C All the earth G I just strike these chorus Chords once and let Will sing Your praise them ring,maybe a few strums on the last G until the break. C From the mountain heights
To the valleys low F All created things GAm Given life to show CBmC Jesus we live for Your glory
C From the rising sun
To the still of night F Every waking moment GAm For Your delight CBmC Jesus we live for Your glory
FC This is where I start strumming, just be Lord of endless light careful not to hit too many extra GBm strings! You can strum from here on out, Let Your glory shine forever Some people like to go to octaves here, but F I think keeping these chord shapes is truer All the earth to the album. C All the earth G Will sing Your praise
FC Hope of every heart GBm Let Your name be lifted higher F All our hearts C All our hearts G Will sing Your praise
C God be exalted
God be exalted AmG In everything C We live for Your glory AmGC Live for Your glory
FC Lord of endless light GBm Let Your glory shine forever F All the earth C All the earth G Will sing Your praise
FC Hope of every heart GBm Let Your name be lifted higher F All our hearts C All our hearts G Will sing Your praise
C God be exalted
God be exalted AmG In everything C We live for Your glory AmGC Live for Your glory
