Each is slightlydifferent, creating a subtle effect. Guitarists should use D2 in place of D(omit 3) in the music. For the key change in thissong use the capo on the first fret and play from the first verse and chorus in the music.keyboard tipsThe repeated LH in the verse helps to keep a strict rhythm. Notice there is a key change after the 3rd verse. You cando repeats in the 1st key if you find this difficult. In the key change of the intermediate version, you may have to practicethe LH chords to make this fluent. You can play just the first bass note in every bar if this is too hard.scripture themesActs 20:24However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task theLord Jesus has given me - the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.Ephesians 2:8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.Psalm 116:16Truly I am your servant, Lord; I serve you just as my mother did; you have freed me from my chains.play today 09
