Posted by thechurchtools On Wednesday, August 25, 2010 87 comments

News have been going around and Christian music followers especially the younger generation who have been influenced for good by the music and songs either sung or written by then Hillsong United's forefront man Marty Sampson. Marty has not been on this year's Hillsong Live - A Beautiful Exchange album. He has been keeping a low profile since the album 'United We Stand' by Hillsong United. His last album with United was the 2008 release The I Heart Revolution: We're All in This Together (2008). He often leads worship at church and has continued his strong contributions for new Hillsong albums.

Marty has a style of music and vocals unique only to himself which is captivating and uplifting. Originally featuring in the Youth Alive albums of the late 1990s, he was one of original Hillsong United worship leaders. Guitar is his main instrument and he occasionally plays the piano.

HILLSONG LONDON - TO BRING YOU GLORY (GUITAR CHORDS)

Posted by thechurchtools On Tuesday, August 24, 2010 3 comments

Did this video out of a request. And did it in a rush so it's not all pro but here's 'Hillsong London - To Bring You Glory' guitar chords. Recorded with the iPhone 4 - (5 megapixel camera). I got a bit excited and too into the song so there's parts where it sped up and the strumming was slightly excessive loud. You don't have to do that.

Verse:

I lift my hands to heaven, and I see the grace and love poured out for me.

Now I stand here in surrender, to the one who gave it all and died for me.

Chorus:

To bring You glory, to bring You glory

I will live, I will live

C chord: x32010

G chord: 320033

Gsus chord: 320013

F chord: 133010

C/E chord: 022010

Am chord: x02210

Legend:

Guitar chords: EADGBE

x = mute
