Learn Hillsong's Breathe on Me

Lucy Fisher, songwriter

In 1998 Lucy Fisher wrote the words and music to the song, Breath on Me. I have the chords in the sheet music from the songbook, Shout To The Lord 2000.

It's in the Key of G with a 4/4 time signature.

Listen to this beautiful song... The breath of the Almighty gives me life. Job 33:4

I love this song and I did a post awhile back on my other blog. You'll find the chord charts at Arise Chord Charts

Recently I received an email from aleks and we were discussing the correct chords on the bridge part:
We lift you up. So, I thought I would post the chords to this popular song in Eb, along with the modulation to F. Let me know what you think.

that as we worship you
Db/Eb              Ab/Eb   Ab2
Lord come and change our lives


Pre-Chorus:

Arise, Arise, Arise, Arise, Arise

Vanessa Williams & Brian Mcknight - Love Is

One of my favorite songs is Love Is by Brian McKnight and Vanessa Williams. These two are very beautiful, talented people.

Free sheet music to Love Is can be acquired at http://pianotte.szm.com/L.htm

Here are the piano chords to a very easy song to play in the Key of C, Love Is:

Am
They say it's a river
Ab
That circles the earth
C
A beam of light shining
D7
To the edge of the universe
F              G
 It conquers all
F            G
 It changes everything

Am
They say it's a blessing
Ab
They say it's a gift
C
 They say it's a miracle 
       D
And I believe that it is
F              G          
 It conquers all
F             G
 But it's a mystery

---------Chorus 1 *
C        F          G  
Love breaks your heart
C         F         G
  Love takes no less than everything
C         F       G
  Love makes it hard
         Bb          Dm       G7
But it fades away so easily


Am
In this world we've created
Ab
In this place that we live
C
In the blink of an eye, babe
D7
The darkness slips in
F                   G
 Love lights the world
F                   G
 Unites the lovers for eternity

---------Chorus 2 * 
C        F          G
Love breaks the chains
C         F          G
  Love aches for everyone of us
C        F          G
Love takes the tears and pain
        Bb                Dm             G7
And it turns it into the beauty that remains


Am7              F
  Look at this place
       G/B           F        C  
It was paradise but now it's dying
Dm7       C        F
  I'll pray for love
Dm7         C         G   
  I'll take my chances that it's not too late

-------Repeat Chorus 1 & 2

Here's another beautiful song by Brian McKnight, Back At One

Bsus9                      Abm7 
It's undeniable that we should be together  
      E6/9                       C#m7                    F# 7 (Bb°)  
It's unbelievable, how I used to say that I'd fall never 
Bsus9  
The basis is need to know  
Abm7 
If you don't just know how I feel  
Am7                            Abm7(5+)    Fm7/4 
Then let me show you now that I'm for real  
Am7                 Abm7(5+)          F#7 
If all the things in time, time will reveal (Yeah...) 
 
Bsus9 
One, you're like a dream come true 
Abm7 
Two, just wanna be with you 
E6/9 
Three, girl it's plain to see 
        C#m7                     F#7 
That you're the only one for me and 
Bsus9 
Four, repeat steps one through three 
Abm7 
Five, make you fall in love with me 
Am7         Abm7(5+)           Fm7/4 
If ever I believe my work is done 
         F# 7                  Bsus9 
Then I'll start back at one (Yeah-yeah yeah...) 
 
Bsus9                         Abm7 
It's so incredible, the way things work themselves out  
      E6/9                  C#m7         And all emotional, once you know what it's  
C#m7  Ebm7 E6/9    F#9/4 (F#7) 
all      about,     Yeah  
Bsus9                     Abm7 
And undesirable, for us to be apart  
Am7             Abm7(5+)     Fm7/4 
I never would've made it very far  
Am7                     Abm7(5+)           F#7 
'Cause you know you got the keys to my heart 'Cause...  
 
-Chorus- 
 
Bsus9 
One, you're like a dream come true 
Abm7 
Two, just wanna be with you 
E6/9 
Three, girl it's plain to see 
C#m7                 C#m7 Ebm7  E6/9  F#9/4 
That you're the only one  for    me    and 
Bsus9 
Four, repeat steps one through three 
Abm7 
Five, make you fall in love with me 
E6/9                         C#m7  
If ever I believe my work is done 
F#7                     Bsus9 
Then I'll start back at one  
 
 
 
Ebm7  
Say farewell to the dark of night 
E6/9  
I see the coming of the sun  
Ebm7                              Ab7/4 Ab7 (C°) 
I feel like a little child, whose life has just begun  
C#m7                              
You came and breathed new life  
           Ebm7           Abm7 
into this lonely heart of mine  
C#m7 
You threw out the life line  
F#7                 G7 
Just in the nick of time ?? 
 
(same chords ½ tone up? enjoy) 
 
-Chorus- 
One, you're like a dream come true 
Two, just wanna be with you 
Three, girl it's plain to see 
That you're the only one for me 
And four, repeat steps one through three 
Five, make you fall in love with me 
If ever I believe my work is done 
Then I'll start back at one

I love the modulation lesson from the piano video tutorial on this popular worship song, Amazing Love by Chris Tomlin. Start this Christian contemporary song in the key of D and then play and modulate the key up one whole step, in the key of E. Listen for the transition chord...

Artist: Chris Tomlin

Verse:
D/F#    G    D/A                 A
I'm forgiven because you were forsaken
D/F#    G     D/A          A
I'm accepted, You were condemned
D/F# G                   D/A           A
I'm alive and well, Your spirit is within me
G           A                D
Because you died and rose again

Chorus:
D            G
Amazing love how can it be
D                              A
That you my king would die for me
D             A
Amazing love I know it's true
D                    A
It's my joy to honor you

Learn the Organ with Kevin Nickelson

Awhile back I purchased The Gospel Organ Series, Gospel Keys 350 for Praise and Devotional Songs, then Gospel Keys 450 for Advanced Chords & Voicings. For those interested in learning everything you need to successfully play the organ for a church service, click here:

Gospel Keys Organ Series is the Key to taking your organ playing to the next level!

Learning the organ requires the ability to master the "third element." If you can seamlessly add this third element and shift your thinking slightly, then you can become a powerhouse on the organ in no time.

Learning the organ is not as simple as transferring the same chords and concepts that you know on the piano. While the concepts of chords and progressions remain the same, how to play and connect between chords and progressions is totally different on the organ.

From the Gospel Keys 500 you will learn:

How to play uptempo praise songs using my award-winning 5-step process and tons of bass lines, right-hand chordal movements, "runs," "licks," and more!

Discover the secrets to playing hundreds of "call-and-response" hand-clapping praise songs in all 12 keys just by knowing a few well-known organ patterns!

Learn how to play common progressions and turnarounds like the "1-4," "7-3-6," "6-2-5-1," and how to apply them to your favorite congregational songs like "Bless that Wonderful Name of Jesus," "God is a Good God," and more!

An "over-the-shoulder" and "behind-the-foot" look at how to combine the power of the foot pedal, left hand, and right hand and what it takes to play all three of these components in sync.

Over 40 bass runs, chords, progressions, and fill-ins to apply to your organ playing right away! After learning these things in all 12 keys, you'll instantly have over 480 chords to add to your gospel playing toolbox.

The use of tritones and how they are the heart & soul of organ praise song mastery! I've never met a professional organist who could play a full song without utilizing tritones --- they're that important and you'll get several examples of how to use them.

How to include 7ths, 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, and several altered chords to spice up the sound of your praise songs!

* From Gospel Keys 450 you will learn:

How to play monster chords and how to voice and invert them in non-conventional ways!

Explore major, minor, dominant, diminished, sevenths, ninths, elevenths, thirteenths, and altered voicings from every scale degree, even tones that are not a part of the scale (transitional chords).

How to pick the best inversion of a chord based on your melody and how to use your left hand and bass pedal to support what your right hand is playing.

The power of polychords: How two separate smaller chords can creatively come together to form larger "fancy" chords.

Tons of "opening" and "closing" chords to pull out of your treasure chest at the right time! With your increased chordal vocabulary, you'll never begin and end a song on the organ the same way twice because you'll have dozens of options to choose from.

How to provide instant "phatness" to common chords by using basic triads on the right hand. What most musicians don't understand is that "triads" (3-fingered chords) aren't basic unless you use them by themselves! But if you know the secrets to embellishing your chords, you'll never sound dull again!

Learn to use quartal chords in key areas to enhance the sound of your voicings!

The key to building up your left hand independence! Hint: One major hindrance to getting to the next level is the underdevelopment of the left hand! Once you can successfully mimic exactly what your right hand is doing (...but all on your left hand), you've arrived!

How to mix "churchy" dominant chords into your worship chord progressions to instantly change up the mood!

How to apply my famous "couples" principle to the organ, using dozens of chords from all seven unique tones of the major scale.

Enjoy studying over 50 worship chords (which translates into hundreds of voicings and inversions) , and how to apply them in real-life situations!

Put it all together by spicing up old favorites like "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," "Jesus Loves Me," "As the Deer," and more!

An up-close look at how to approach chord progressions differently and how to think creatively when it comes to combining different chords from various scale tones. Songs are built on recurring patterns within the scale tones --- so if you can master this concept, you can learn any worship song out there!

Learn how to apply my "3-4" principle to the organ and how to predict what chords will come next by using my simple mathematical model to count up and down the scale.

I do have these two music resources in my music library and view them often to apply music principles. I highly recommend these music resources. Kevin Nickelson is an organist-extraordinaire on the west coast. He has been a Minister of Music for over 25 years and has played for the "Who's Who" in gospel music. From Kurt Carr, Judith McAllister, and Beverly Crawford to Douglas Miller, Juanita Bynum, and others, he's had the privilege to travel around the world accompanying various gospel artists and groups.
