[G] Hello and welcome to New Song Cafe [Em] here at WorshipTogether.com.
Today we're going to hear [C] the song 10,000 Reasons [G] by Matt Redman.
Sit back [D] and relax, we hope you enjoy this New Song Cafe.
Matt, it's good to be with you again.
Great to meet you.
You're going to share the song 10,000 Reasons.
Yes.
Maybe just kind of share a little bit about where the song came from.
Yeah, so we call the song 10,000 Reasons, parentheses or brackets as we say in England,
bless the Lord.
There's a lot of [G] bless the Lord.
Yes, there are.
It came from, again, Jonas Marin, my Swedish friend.
He just had a melody idea for a chorus and we started originally putting a tiny bit of
lyric around that we had in another song.
It led very quickly onto a couple of really quick flowing verses and we decided we don't
need a bridge, just keep this one ultra simple.
It's actually in [D] the key of G, which is a little while since I've written in the key
of G, so that's a [Ab] nice moment as well.
[D] If I ever get [Gb] stuck somewhere without my capo, I will still be able to play at least one
song, [Ab] which is great.
Yeah, it's probably a little bit kind of folky, hymny kind of [D] thing.
Well, please share it.
We'd love to hear it.
Great.
The sun [G] comes up, it's a new [Em] day [G] dawn.
It's time to sing [D] the song [Em] again.
Whatever [D] may pass and whatever lies before me, [G] let me be singing [A] when the evening [G] comes.
[C] Bless the [G] Lord, oh my [D] soul, oh [Em] my soul.
[G] Worship his holy [D] name.
[C] Sing like never [Em] before, [G] oh [Em] my soul.
[G] I worship [Dm] your holy [G] name.
You're rich in love and you're slow [Em] to anger.
[G] Your name is great [D] and your [Em] heart is kind.
[D] For all your goodness I will keep [Em] on singing.
[G] Ten [D] thousand reasons for my heart [G] to find.
So bless the Lord, oh my soul, [D] oh [Em] my soul.
[G] Worship his holy [D] name.
[G] Sing like never [Em] before, [D] oh [Em] my soul.
I [G] worship [D] your holy [G] name.
So in the final verse, [D] break it down a bit, a bit softer.
[G] Some major seven chords.
[C] And on [G] that day [A] when my strength [Em] is fading, [C] the end [G] draws near.
[D] And my time [Em] has come.
[G] So sing, oh my soul, [D] sing your praise, [Em] our ending.
[A] Ten [D] thousand years and then forever [G] more.
So [C] bless the [D] Lord, oh my soul.
Let me build into a big chorus and see where it goes.
That's fantastic.
I think that has to be one of the best songs that you've written, Matt.
No way, thanks, man.
It has such a timeless, hymn-like quality to it.
You sing the chorus and you feel like, by the time you hear it, you're like,
have I sung this before?
I was thinking that when we wrote it.
You're like, we have to be plagiarizing [E] somebody.
But no, it's just beautiful.
And I think the great thing about it too is that the language of it,
just sing like never before.
I've never heard that in a song yet, in a congregational song.
At least in a long time, if ever, have I heard just that phrase.
It's always like when a song has just at least one phrase in it.
Obviously the title of the song, Ten Thousand Reasons for My Heart to Find,
that's a great image too.
Wonderful.
We could never run [A] out of reasons to worship God.
A couple of the old hymns have the kind Ten Thousand language.
I like that.
It's a good number to sound big, isn't it? Yeah.
And [N] important.
I think what I like most when we lead the song is it's all about the voices, really.
We've got some stuff.
When we recorded this, we had a little mando guitar action going on.
A couple of acoustics and the piano was beautiful.
But really it was all about the voices.
And just hearing people, hopefully from a home group to a bigger crowd of people
or any size congregation.
I love that when the voices take over and lead.
Hopefully the song gives space for that.
I definitely think it does.
So you're in the key of G.
There's one cool thing you're doing too in the intro where you're playing this G chord
but your middle finger is [G] hitting the A string.
You mean this thing?
Yeah, that guy.
Two little things, just a little sus thing or whatever you want to call that going on.
And the other thing in between verses, playing this G shape.
And
Holy name
Just a real simple little thing you can do with that guy.
It's kind of like a little old folk guitar chord.
Yeah, it just gives it a bit more of that vibe.
I mean, I don't really know how to play this thing.
But that's about the best trick I've got.
That's a good trick.
[D] That's the closest I get to a guitar solo.
And then apart from that, it is pretty simple chords.
The only other [Abm] thing I would say is in [G] the chorus where we go
Sing like [Em] never before
So you go back to the minor, the [A] E minor, instead of the G like usual there.
And then C, D, E minor.
Oh [Em] my soul
It's kind [G] of a nice moment.
But there's a lot of ways you could [D] play that.
I kind of like sliding up.
And it's maybe not the truest D, but it's a nice feel.
[Em] Oh my soul, oh my soul
[Dbm] It just gives it a nice feel.
Well great, thanks for sharing it with us.
Alright, [G] mate.
Bless [C] the Lord, oh [G] my soul, [D] oh [Em] my soul.
Today we're going to hear [C] the song 10,000 Reasons [G] by Matt Redman.
Sit back [D] and relax, we hope you enjoy this New Song Cafe.
