If y'all don't remember how this song goes and need a refresher, here's the first poesy and chorus to jog your retentivity.

Guitar Tabs: Who You lot Say I Am - Hillsong Worship
Song Description
Who You Say I Am is another easy vocal you can learn to play on guitar without too much struggle. The chords are fundamental, core chords that y'all'll have to learn at 1 betoken or another (or should already know if you've been playing for a period of fourth dimension!)
Note: All of the songs from this point onward will be played with 4 chords. Even though I could've simplified a few of them fifty-fifty more into simply three chords, they just wouldn't accept sounded the same. I decided to do all I could to go on the "essence" of the music.
You'll notice that the remainder of the songs listed here sound a bit "richer" than the first song we simplified downwards to simply iii chords (Amazing Love). Fifty-fifty though Astonishing Love still sounds good, adding an E Pocket-size (Em) into the chord progression would significantly improve the audio. Simply my ii cents!
Anyways, back to Who You lot Say I Am -- here are the chords you lot'll accept to acquire to play this song:
The chord progression here is G, Em, D, G followed by Thou, Em, D, C.
While playing the verses you alternate the last chord between M and C, merely all the root chords played here remain the same.
Once more, I included a snippet of the lyrics to jog your retentivity.

10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord) - Matt Redman
Chords: C, G, D, Em
Difficulty: Contains intermediate-paced chord switching (once every two seconds or so during the vocal). Information technology's relatively easy to play once you lot can switch chords speedily with some exercise.
Guitar Tabs: 10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord) - Matt Redman
Vocal Clarification
x,000 Reasons by Matt Redman is a vocal most of us easily recognize. It's unique in that it actually starts with the chorus and then goes on into the verse.
Equally I mentioned in the previous description (Who You Say I Am), every song from this bespeak on is going to have iv chords instead of 3 (giving them a richer sound, and having them all sounding fifty-fifty more like the original!)
The chord progression hither goes like this: C, Yard, D, Em.
Once again, these aren't tricky chords. After practicing for a few hours (this is, realistically, how long it should take if y'all're new to this - perhaps a chip longer), you'll be able to have these chords downward pretty well.
When I was learning my first chord progression on guitar, information technology took me roughly a week (practicing an hr or and so a twenty-four hours), until I could play the chords without looking at the frets, purely by musculus memory.
Y'all can become to a skilful betoken with a few hours of practice, but information technology'll accept a little longer to develop the muscle memory for each chord.
Hither is the Verse and Chorus to 10,000 Reasons:
Lyrics Snippet
[Chorus]
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name

Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes
Broken Vessels (Amazing Grace) - Hillsong
Chords: Em, M, D, C
Difficulty: Easy to play. You'll be switching chords in one case every line in this song, at a bit of slower stride compared to the terminal few. The merely part that may be a bit more difficult is that there isn't a repeating chord progression; it changes slightly throughout the song.
Guitar Tabs: Broken Vessels (Astonishing Grace) - Hillsong
Song Description
This is another first-class song from Hillsong Worship. Broken Vessels is relatively easy to learn, as it contains the same four chords we've been seeing over and over over again in the last few songs.
If you lot finish and look at the most common chords all of these worship songs incorporate, yous'll detect that Em, G, D, and C appear very frequently.
Acquire these four chords, and you're already 75% of the way there to play simply well-nigh every worship song we list! Pretty cool, isn't information technology?
The chord progression for Cleaved Vessels goes like this for the chorus: C, D, Em, G.
This vocal is a little bit more hard in that it doesn't accept a "rotating" chord progression. When I say rotating, I hateful playing the same four chords over and once more in the aforementioned social club each time.
The chords here are mixed up a little, merely that'due south what makes this song audio great.
Yous'll detect a snippet from the first poesy and chorus down beneath.
Lyrics Snippet
[Poesy]
All these pieces
Broken and scattered
In mercy gathered
Mended and whole
Empty handed
Only not forsaken
I've been set up gratuitous

That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
Just now I'm found

Build My Life - Housefires
Chords: One thousand, C, Em, Am, D
Difficulty: Even though this song contains v chords (instead of the usual 3 or four up until at present), the chord progression is adequately simple. This makes it like shooting fish in a barrel to play once you've mastered the chords and can comfortably transition betwixt them.
Guitar Tabs: Build My Life - Housefires
Song Description
And nosotros finally come across our first 5-chord song! Don't worry, it's not every bit scary equally information technology sounds. And if yous've been following forth with some of the earlier songs I mentioned, y'all should already accept Thousand, C, Em, and D down.
The i new chord we've been seeing here is A Minor (Am), only luckily, it'due south also a reasonably straightforward chord to grasp.
The chord progression in the verses alternates between G and C. Very simple.
And in the chorus, the chord progression goes like this: C, Am, Yard, Em.
This entire song is mostly played with those four chords. The only place that a D chord comes upwardly is in the bridge of the song (and it's but played once).
Temper
This vocal is a slower, quieter worship song that would work great when mixed into a worship fix either earlier or afterwards a prayer (or if a softer vocal is desired).
The lyrics are like shooting fish in a barrel to call up one time you've heard the vocal all the way through at least in one case (but with the chorus, you lot can even pick that up on your first time singing this song due to it repeating).
Lyrics Snippet
[Poetry]
Worthy of every song we could e'er sing
Worthy of all the praise nosotros could e'er bring
Worthy of every breath we could ever exhale

[Chorus]
Holy there is no 1 similar You

Show me who You are
And fill me with Your heart
And lead me in Your love

Cornerstone - Hillsong
Chords: C, Em, C, D (transposed -v)
Difficulty: Involves some quicker chord switching in the chorus. A piffling more than difficult than most of the songs nosotros've mentioned earlier, merely still very doable with some quality practice. Transposed -5 into an easier key (G).
Guitar Tabs:Cornerstone - Hillsong
Song Description
Cornerstone past Hillsong is a great worship vocal -- I personally love singing it! This is a more upbeat song that would fit in bully as the terminal worship song when closing out your set (if you'll be playing this with your worship band).
Using only 4 chords (the same ones we've already used numerous times in previous worship songs above), this song should be easy to option up no matter what your level of play is.
The chord progression is equally follows: Grand, Em, C, D. Once you learn these chords and get them down to where you can chop-chop transition betwixt them, y'all'll make quick work of picking up Cornerstone.

[Poetry]
My hope is built on nix less
Than Jesus' claret and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame

Holy Spirit - Bryan and Katie Torwalt
Chords: Thousand, C, Am, D (primal of G; transposed -nine)
Difficulty: Very piece of cake to play with nice tedious chord transitions and only four chords to main. Transposed -9 into the key of G for easier chords.
Guitar Tabs:Holy Spirit - Bryan and Katie Torwalt
Song Description
Holy Spirit by Bryan and Katie Torwalt is originally in the key of Eastward. Unfortunately for us, playing this in E introduces an F Abrupt Minor Chord (F#thousand) and B Chord. These are both bar chords!
Bar chords definitely aren't easy to play; cheque out the chord nautical chart for F#m and B below. A whole bar for F#m on the second fret, and a five string second fret bar for B. There'due south some difficult guitar notes there!
To get around this and simplify this song to a playable beginner level, what I did was transposed the entire song down 9 half steps (-9 transpose). This brought it downwardly from East to G, giving us the same chords we've been playing the rest of these songs in!
Great, isn't information technology? You can re-apply the same chords and exercise them over and over.
The chord progression goes Grand, C, Am.
Just like in Cornerstone, the D chord only appears in the bridge here. Everything else is played purely with G, C, and Am.
Lyrics Snippet
[Verse]
There's nothing worth more, that volition e'er come up close
No matter can compare, Y'all're our living hope
Your presence
[Chorus]
Holy Spirit Yous are welcome here
Come up flood this place and fill the temper
Your Glory God is what our hearts long for
To exist overcome by Your Presence Lord
Stronger - Hillsong
Chords: C, D, G, Em
Difficulty: Relatively piece of cake to play, with some "intermediate-speed" chord transitions. They aren't likewise fast and they aren't besides slow either; with a fleck of practice you lot'll be able to play Stronger flawlessly.
Guitar Tabs:Stronger - Hillsong
Song Clarification
I detest to sound like a broken record, but Stronger by Hillsong Worship as well uses the same four chords we've been seeing over and over again: C, D, M, and Em.
This song is more in the intermediate-beginner range because of its speed. You have to switch between C, D, and Yard very quickly in the verses (and y'all'll as well throw in an Em in at that place).
You'll accept to exercise your chord switching if you desire to pull off playing this song smoothly.
That's also the chord progression for this vocal's verses: C, D, K, and Em. The chorus is a lilliputian bit different since it goes: G, D, Em, C
Lyrics Snippet
[Verse]
There is a Love that came for usa

Guitar Tabs:Mighty to Salvage - Hillsong

It's played in standard tuning (Eastward A D Chiliad B E) and contains only iv chords. Do yous want to guess which ones?
That's right, the aforementioned four chords: C, G, Em, and D.
The chord progression for the chorus of Mighty to Save is G, D, C, Em. For the verses, it'due south C, Chiliad, Em, D.
I've included a snippet of the lyrics below.

Everlasting God - Lincoln Brewster
Chords: 1000, C, Em, D
Difficulty:There are only ii chord changes per line at a medium pace in Everlasting God. On top of that, the chord progression is super easy and repeating. This is the perfect worship song for beginners to pick upward and acquire!
Guitar Tabs:Everlasting God - Lincoln Brewster
Vocal Description
These four chords sure are persistent, letting us play nearly every song on this list. Howdy again G, C, Em, and D! Those are the but 4 chords yous'll demand to know to play Everlasting God.
I classify this song as being at a true beginner level. There isn't any quick chord switching anywhere in the chorus. The verses of Everlasting God don't take any fast chord switches either, except for the last two lines of each verse (where there'south a quicker transition).
If you're on a quest to find an easy worship song that you can learn incredibly quick, this could exist the one.

God of Wonders - Third Twenty-four hours
Chords: Em, C, One thousand, D
Difficulty:This song isn't too difficult to play, but it does feature some more advanced techniques in the tabs (these can be ignored for now). As long as you tin can transition fluidly betwixt Em, C, G, and D, you can acquire this song!
Guitar Tabs:God of Wonders - Third Day
Song Description
"God of wonders beyond our galaxy...", equally the song goes! This is one of my favorite worship songs. It's piece of cake to pick up and play (using our aforementioned four chords once again), and it's a petty more upbeat allowing it to fit in the middle of any worship segment easily.
The chord progression goes G, D, Em, C.
I want to indicate out, though, that this is a more advanced song. If yous look at the guitar tabs I listed, you'll notice that in that location are a lot of tougher techniques listed such as hammering guitar strings and sliding.
Ignore those techniques for at present (unless you lot're up for a challenge!). What you want to focus on right now is getting the chords downwardly and transitioning quick enough to play God of Wonders smoothly.

Reckless Honey - Cory Asbury
Chords: Em, D, C, G
Difficulty:Easy to play. Reckless Love has a steady, repeating chord progression that remains the aforementioned throughout the verses and the chorus; the only difference in the chorus is adding an actress Yard chord to the end. Take a expect at the tabs for more details.
Guitar Tabs:Reckless Love - Cory Asbury
Vocal Description
Reckless Love by Cory Asbury is another corking worship song I like to sing (and play, as a affair of fact!) Information technology in one case again revolves around these same iv chords (Em, D, C, and Thou), making information technology simple to play one time you go these chords down and mastered.
I would allocate this song as existence in the beginner range, because you switch between chords at a "medium-dull" pace when playing each verse and chorus (there are chord switches every few words of the song if you accept a look at the tabs I provided).
Here is the chord progression for each Verse: Em, D, C
And hither is the chord progression for the Chorus: Em, D, C, Grand
This chord progression repeats over and again, so as long as yous can switch comfortably between Em, D, C, and G (in that order), then you've got this vocal downwards!
I would highly recommend starting with this song if you're just beginning to learn some worship music. The chord progression for the verses and the chorus is exactly the same, making information technology easy to master.
Lyrics Snippet
[Verse]
Before I spoke a give-and-take, You were singing over me

The Eye of Worship - Matt Redman
Chords: D, A, K, Em

That's what makes this song easy to play. Yous just have to switch between three chords at a time (in a repeating fashion) to play each poetry, and again only three alternate chords to play the chorus.
Here's a snippet of the first poesy and chorus.
Lyrics Snippet

Open the Eyes of My Centre - Paul Baloche
Song Clarification
Open up the Eyes of My Heart by Paul Baloche has been around for many years now (released in 2000). I remember singing this song in worship in the mid-2000's, and I however proceed to hear it played and sung every once in a while.
This truly fits the description of easy to play! Each line of the verse only has i chord that you demand to play for that line (except for the last line which consists of ii chords).
The slower tempo of this vocal gives you more fourth dimension to alter chords also.
Where things might get a little catchy is the chorus (chord switches happen more often), but information technology's still very doable if you lot spend the time practicing.
The chord progression for the verses goes like this: G, D, C, One thousand... repeat.
The chord progression for the chorus is as follows: D, Em, C, D... and a few more chords mixed in. It's non 100% a repeating pattern (alternates a little bit between chords).
I've included a snippet of the lyrics below.

Open up the eyes of my centre
I desire to run across You, I want to see You

How Dandy is Our God - Chris Tomlin

Guitar Tabs: How Peachy is Our God - Chris Tomlin
Song Description
How Cracking is Our God is a very popular worship song to this solar day -- and for a good reason! Information technology's a fantastic song to sing out in worship with some great lyrics. I notwithstanding hear it playing on the radio at least several times a week (the international version of How Great is Our God is i of my favorites!)
I'm sure you've already noticed that we're using the same 4 familiar chords I've mentioned a hundred times already: Grand, Em, C, and D.
The chord switches in this song are pretty wearisome likewise, so you lot'll easily be able to choice this song upwards and get going with some quality practice!
Both the verses and the chorus have relatively slow chord switches; yous'll exist switching chords approximately twice every line (and just ane time at the last line of each poetry).

How great is our God, all will run across
How great, how great is our God
One Thing Remains - Jesus Culture
Chords: C, Yard, D, Em, Am
Difficulty:One Thing Remains is at an intermediate-beginner level, and requires y'all to acquire 5 chords. The chord progressions are fairly simple once you can easily transition between C, G, D, Em, and Am.
Guitar Tabs:One Thing Remains - Jesus Civilisation
Song Clarification
I saved the best for last. This has been my favorite vocal for over a decade (I especially similar the chorus!).
The only affair with One Thing Remains past Jesus Culture is its difficulty. Information technology's a little bit on the harder side to learn (not to mention, it contains v chords that yous'll have to acquire instead of iii or 4).
The chords are all pretty unproblematic to pick upwards (and ones we've seen recurring throughout this list): C, G, D, Em, and Am.
The chord progression for the verses goes every bit follows: C, G, D... echo. Pretty simple.
The chord progression for the chorus is Em, C, G, D...repeat. Also pretty unproblematic.

One time you get practiced at your chord switches though, you'll exist able to play this song flawlessly subsequently some excellent quality practice!

What Makes a Worship Song "Easy" to Play on Guitar?
There are piece of cake songs, and in that location are difficult songs. What distinguishes one from the other?
The first point we have to consider is speed. Is this a fast BPM song that'll force yous to transition between chords at a lightning stride? If and so, it's fair to allocate it every bit intermediate or advanced (depending on the intensity and chords being switched betwixt).
After checking out the BPM and making sure everything is set, the next matter we look at are the actual chords themselves. Are there bar chords involved? Are at that place chords where your fingers stretch along multiple frets, making them hard for a beginner to grasp?
Once we've analyzed each chord and figured out how difficult the song truly is to play from scratch, we can give it a last rating.
All of the songs listed to a higher place are in the beginner range (with only a couple being intermediate).
Exercise ii-Chord and 3-Chord Worship Songs Exist?
Yep, they do. It'due south very possible to simplify whatever worship song down to just 2 or three chords. The simply trouble is, when played solo, it'll audio nothing like the original.
There'due south a fine line betwixt an over-simplified vocal and one that'south simplified just enough to both sound practiced and exist easy to play for a beginner on guitar.
In my stance, simplifying any song downwards to ii chords (unless it'south genuinely a repeating song, or something straightforward) takes abroad the essence of the song. It's but as well much.
iii-chord songs, on the other hand, are perfectly reasonable. If we're talking about a simple song here, simplifying it down to 3 chords should (in near cases) keep the essence of the song and let y'all play it and sing along to it.
If the song gets any more complex though, y'all'll beginning to detect that the version you're playing on guitar vs. the original version you heard time and fourth dimension again doesn't sound very much alike.
As a Beginner, What Do I Need to Know Near Playing Worship Songs?
The most important thing: You lot're playing to glorify God, praise his proper name, and worship! Attempt your best, don't give up, and you lot'll exist able to learn whatever of the songs listed above in short gild.
In one case you have the "why" down and know that you'll need to persist through the learning process (everyone runs into struggles, it'southward just a natural function of getting better), then you can kickoff mastering the chords I described above.
Look at the chord charts, practice getting your finger positions in place, and and so do transitioning between chords.
One time y'all transition enough times, you'll brainstorm edifice up muscle retention for where your fingers get on the fretboard.
With plenty practise, you'll somewhen build up musculus retention to every chord you frequently use.
And that'southward all there is to it. Continue practicing, choose a worship song that yous like the nearly, and you'll be playing these worship songs like a pro in no time! If you're upwardly for it, maybe you can even play them around the campfire sometime!
