Ideas:

05.12.22 New recording, tracks, transposed chord charts and updated vocal/instrumental parts. This arrangement is definately piano driven, and sounds quite nice with just piano and strings, so I've included a simple vocal/piano/strings demo and tracks.

This arrangement originally was in the key of D (modulating to F on the final verse) but I lowered it now to C as it was more comfortable for the session singer. I think either C or D would work fine with your congregation.

This is only the second arrangement I've done that doesn't follow the hymnal melody exactly (the other is the contemporary version of "There Is Power in the Blood.") With Breathe on Me, Breath of God I felt that the first two phrases needed another measure. Maybe you do it like this anyway in your church. I've also made this version slightly more upbeat. Come to an end on Ab and start the intro to the praise chorus Breathe in Ab.

MP3 Problems?

Several subscribers have had problems downloading MP3s. Here are the 2 most typical problems and solutions:

1. How do I download the MP3s? MP3s and (if available) multitrack WAV downloads are found under the "tracks" tab. You can download these MP3s (or any files) to your computer by RIGHT clicking the button, then a little box will pop up with options. Select something like "save as"or "save link as" to manually save the MP3s to your computer where you can then burn a CD, email it to your praise team or upload it to a worship planning website.

2. The MP3 won't play in iTunes (or other media player.) All HymnCharts MP3s are free from ALL copy protection and can be used any way you want. Some people are clicking the MP3 button dragging it to iTunes or another media player. This won't work (you're actually just dragging the image file of the button!) Download the MP3 using the instructions above, then you can access it through your media player.
