How To Play Find Me in the River: Delirious

"Find me in the river, I'm waiting here for You." --- Delirious

I was at a concert a very long time ago and actually saw Delirious on stage. I love their music. Do you have a favorite song? Here's one I've chosen (beautiful, yet sad) and if you're not familiar with it, you can catch it on YouTube here. I play the song in the Key of Db.

Find Me in the River

(Words and music by Martin Smith-1994)

Deeper: The D:finitive Worship Experience

Verse  1:
Db              Gb2
Find me in the river
Gb/Ab            Db
Find me on my knees

                        Gb2
I've walked against the water
Gb/Ab                      Db Dbsus
Now I'm waiting if you please

Db                       Gb2
We've longed to see the roses
Gb/Ab                  Db
But never felt the thorns
G                     Gb2
And bought our pretty crowns
Gb/Ab                  Db Dbsus Db
But never paid the price

Chorus:

Gb  
Find me in the river
Db/F
Find me there
Gb                           Db/F      Ab
Find me on my knees with my soul laid bare
Gb                              Db/F         Ab
Even though you're gone and I'm cracked and dry
Bbm                    Gb2        Gb/Ab  Db Dbsus Db
Find me in the river, I'm waiting here

Verse 2:

Db              Gb2
Find me in the river
Gb/Ab           Db
Find me on my knees
                        Gb2 
I've walked against the water
Gb/Ab                    Db Dbsus Db
Now I'm waiting if you please


Db                  Gb2
We didn't count on suffering
Gb/Ab               Db
We didn't count on pain
                             Gb2
But if the blessing's in the valley
Gb/Ab                      Db Dbsus Db
Then in the river I will wait

Chorus:

 Gb  
Find me in the river
Db/F
Find me there
Gb                           Db/F       Ab
Find me on my knees with my soul laid bare
Gb                               Db/F       Ab
Even though you're gone and I'm cracked and dry
Bbm                    Gb2        Gb/Ab    Db Dbsus Db
Find me in the river, I'm waiting here for You.

Monday Music Quote

"Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons. You will find what it is to the soul is what a water bath is to the body." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes

Hi there! I'm back from Spring Break and I hope you had a wonderful, special Easter! Well, I'm a huge fan of Diana Krall and wanted to share this popular song with you. Do you have a favorite of hers?

The song, I Don't Stand A Ghost Of A Chance was originally written in 1932. I love Diana Krall's style of playing. This song is in the Key of C with 4/4/ time signature, moderately.

Monday Music Quote: Ursula K. LeGuin and Jordan Frye

"It had never occurred to me before that music and thinking are so much alike. In fact, you could say that music is another way of thinking, or maybe thinking is another kind of music." -- Ursula K. LeGuin

Ursula is an award winning author. She writes science fiction stuff. Visit her website and check her out, if you want. She writes about alien stories as well. I'm not a fan of this genre but her quote got me thinking about a young singer-song writer!

Jordan Frye wrote a song in 2013 called Forever Yours. It's in the Key of A. Play steadily with a 4/4 time signature. It's a great song about the love of God towards us.

Chord chart to Forever Yours

Verse 1:

Change me, from deep inside

E/G# F#m7

and recreate me, all of my life I long to be

More like You

Your heart, I give the world to

Chorus:

All of my life I will lay down

Verse 2:

A E/G#

Closer, reach out and touch me with Your fire

Bm7

I’m forever Yours

All of my shame I’m letting go

F#m7

Because of Your mercy I bear it no more

Bm7

I’m forever Yours

I’m forever yours

Bridge:

No greater love no deeper joy,

E/G# F#m7

no higher hope, no longer I, but Christ who lives,

F#m7 D2

but Christ who lives in me

A E

No greater love, no deeper joy, no higher hope

F#m7 D2

No longer I, but Christ who lives, but Christ who lives in me

My Lighthouse Chords: Rend Collective

My Lighthouse was written in 2013 by Rend Collective. I have the chords in the Key of C and I found the other version online in the Key of G. The song has a 4/4 time signature and is played cheerfully. Are you familiar with it? Here it is on YouTube. It's pretty easy and nice, too.

Your great love will lead me through
You are my peace in the troubled sea
You are my peace in the troubled sea

My Lighthouse, My lighthouse
C               G         Em            D
Shining in the darkness, I will follow You
C        G       Em      D
My Lighthouse, My Lighthouse
C                 G        Em             D              C       G    D

Safe to Shore (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
            C        G    D
Safe to Shore (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
            G
Safe to Shore

Verse 3
I won't fear what tomorrow brings
With each morning I'll rise and sing
My God's love will lead me through
You are the peace in my troubled sea
You are the peace in my troubled sea

Bridge
C    G          Em         D
