I finally got around to programming a loop for one of my favorite Hillsong tunes, Lead Me to the Cross. This one took me a long time to get satisfied with. I knew I wanted to remix it some, I didn’t want to play it the same old way. So what I ended up doing was changing the drum rhythm and creating a sort of Radiohead In Rainbows odd downbeat thing happening. Our drummer Jonathan did a brilliant job getting a killer beat around this track, I’m sorry the rest of your teams don’t have my drummer.
I followed the album as far as sectional(verse/chorus/bridge) arrangement so that should make things easier for those thinking of using this. As you may or may not know I have a 3 piece band instrumentally, drums, bass and me on electric guitar, no acoustic guitar (ohhhhhh myyyyyy goshhhhhhhhh). So I have 2 versions of this loop, one with acoustic and one without for most of you out there who have live acoustic.

Nice man! You did a sweet job on the the layering – it gets busy just long enough and then simples out.
This was the most amazing sound… You all knocked it out of the park on this one. SICK!!
How come I can't download the reason file????
[...] Overall: This song can be a powerful congregational favorite, and this loop neither gets in the way of a solid band nor leaves too much of the song open. An offbeat kick drum starts out the intro and continues throughout, so to get a good feel for how the loop works, check out the version with acoustic guitar. [...]
Is it possible to get this loop in Am? My wife wants to sing it for church but Am would work way better.
When you download the RNS (by right clicking on the hi-lighted "rns" extension up top) mac changes the extension to a .txt file so delete that extension and add on RNS to the end and it should open up in Reason.
Good luck and God bless!
