Chords Worship
Here it is, a very useful collection of Worship Chord Progressions. This is NOT my collection of
stuff, rather something that I came across maybe 15 years ago that was of great value and immediately
went into reprocessing and became a transmittable file. I do not know who gets credit for compiling
this gem, but it has been an invaluable tool over the years. This is GREAT for helping ears-only
musicians understand the eye musicians and great for encouraging transpositions and facility in the
the more distant keys. It is provided as an Acrobat file format, easily readable and printable for
use in your church or praise band setting.
These are really great for introducing groups of people to the concept of "singing in the Spirit" or what
some call "the new song" or "song of the Lord". It helps the musicians by providing something more than
a one or two chord progression. It can be used to help build facility in singing spontaneous praises,
in singing prophetically, providing a wonderful ground on which to teach Spirit-led improvisation and with
good introduction and practice can be used in congregational singing unto the Lord with delightful results.
I hope that they will be as great a blessing to you as they have been to me.
If you find anyone who claims credit for compiling these, please advise so that I can give them proper
credit. And be sure to send any small testimonies as to their use. Thanking you in advance.
