A song I wrote many years ago but have used when leading worship in church for a decade. Its a song that has always worked with congregations as an anthemic declaration of the greatness of God. I often throw in a chorus of the well-known hymn How Great Thou Art and that is how this version of the track has been recorded.

There is no bass guitar added to this track yet.

How Great


Verse 1:
                     A                         F#m
Lord there is none, who is like you?
                 E     D	                     A
Riding the stars, how great you are
               A                               F#m
No other name so captures our hearts
                                E    D                              A
We’re down on our knees we bring you our song

Chorus 1:
A/C# D	    Bm	       F#m	    E                             A
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, how great you are
Holy holy, holy holy, holy holy,  how  great you are

Verse 2:
                            A                                    F#m
We come to your mountain, receiving our worth
                         E      D                               A
Purchased with blood, how awesome you are
                                                                F#m
The veil’s torn away, your life bursting through
                  E    D                        A
I give in to you, how great you are

Chorus 2:
         D             Bm          F#m E                        A
Holy holy, holy holy, holy holy,  how great you are
Worthy worthy…	                       how great you are


How Great

An energetic song for worship that draws on a style of writing common in the 70s and 80s - simple, repetitive lyrics with a hooky tune that can be easily picked up and remembered by church worshippers. 

You Are Glorious
(Play in G capo 5)

Part 1:
C            Am                     F                                  C     G

You laid down your life and let me breath again
You laid down your life and let me breath again
    F          C                  Am     F
I give my life, poured out to you

   C                      Am            
I worship you, I worship you
    F                        C  
I worship you my King

Alternative chorus: You are beautiful…


You Are Glorious

A remake of a song I wrote 15 years ago! Still done in the same style but I've reworked the lyrics and the way the melody is sung, and I think an improvement on the melody itself in the chorus. Very mellow and meant to be an intimate song of love to our Saviour Jesus.


Completely (I love you)

D                   Em7
Come and draw near, whisper in my ear
Bm            A    G
That you love me completely
D               Em7
I come to you, open all to you
    Bm       A    G
And sing out my love, freely


Bm     D       
I love you
   Em        A
My savior, I’ll sing out
Bm      D        Em
I love you, I have no other
   G          A
I’m giving my all

Bm     D      
I love you, 
   Em        A
My savior, I’ll sing out
Bm      D        Em
I love you, I’m here and I’m waiting
   G
I’m giving my all to you
