This blog examines, reviews and discusses how worship is being lived out in culture and in the church. We tackle everything from songwriting techniques in corporate worship, to interviewing worship leaders and pastors, to reviewing the last big rock concert.
This song has been on my to do list for some time and is the first song I’m doing as part of the Gospel Community Worship Project. I’ve always loved this song and been in a couple of Delirious’ concerts when they played it live and it was incredible. The arrangement here has the same instrumental hook that makes the song instantly recognizable.
I did make some changes to the end section, namely I don’t do the “there will come a day…” part. I just allow for some repeats on the “Hallelujah” tag. The loop here does have a bass line in it. If you need it muted you’re welcome to download the Reason file and mute it out, or you can comment or contact me and request me to do it for you if you don’t have Reason.

This custom loop is for use with Misty Edwards’ “You Won’t Relent” off her album Relentless. The song has an unmistakable melodic hook, but I think one of the challenges for me in the loop was how to restrain that. This arrangement(parts, not instrumentation) follows the Jesus Culture performance of this song which is 10 minutes long. So the challenge here was how do I show restraint in the loop arrangement instrumentation wise, layer slowly and hit that hook in a way that doesn’t become too repetitive. I’ll let you be the judge of how successful or unsuccessful I was at that.

This is a custom loop I did that I am now making available for resale publicly. This loop is for use with a great song by Leeland called “Follow You” off their Love is On the Move album. The song follows the arrangement on the album as far as order of parts, but instrumentation and the intro section are different.

Your love is our reward, that’s why we ask for more of You

You set our hearts desires, that all our lives bring glory to You
Now onto the loop. This loop uses a bass sequence on the verses second the second chorus. It allows room for a live bass player to play underneath without muddying up the mix, but you can decide how you’d approach that or you can catch my bass player on twitter and ask him his thoughts. The arrangement follows the Jesus Culture arrangement as far as order of song sections.

Over the past couple years my heart has really been moved towards re-arranging hymns, due in large part to the influence of Mars Hill’s worship leaders but also due to a conviction on singing theologically rich lyrics. One of my favorite hymns is “The Solid Rock” by Edward Mote. I’ve done a couple versions of this song and always enjoyed E-pop’s version of this song, but on one particular listen it moved from appreciation to an urgency to do it.
Most of the time I try and respond to that urgency in my spirit, there are a lot of songs I have in the queue to loop so I have to prioritize in some way. So this arrangement is a version off of the E-pop arrangement. Same hook in the piano melody but used some different instrumentation, rhythm and added a more heavy instrumental section.

I’ve written previously at how brilliant this song is and how more churches should be doing this song. The bridge for this song is one of the most powerful portions of song I’ve sung, very difficult to get through composed.
He has cheated hell and seated
Us above the fall
In desperate place He paid our wages
One time once and for all
That bridge was the main reason I wanted to do a loop for this. I felt like that part could and should get huge. So the loop is really simple for most of it, just has an organ, some claps, little kick, shaker, cello, but then ramps up on the tag. I spent quite a while getting the proper back and forth shaker action instead of just the single forward action that pretty much all shaker samples use. I know it’s probably not all that impressive to anyone but I was really happy with the end result for the shaker.
You’ll notice my changes in the bridge section and you may also noticed I slowed it down. I like giving the verses a little more room so people don’t get lost in the lyrics.

This song has been on the back burner for a long time for me. I never really dug any of the arrangements I heard, but I knew the song had some good remix potential. I finally got around to putting one together for this tune. I’ve always loved the words to this song and thought it was really a powerful song. The dominant portions of the loop I composed for it are this sort of rhythmic electronic sequence. They are layered throughout so that it hopefully doesn’t get over bearing. I leave room in the verses and pre-chorus, and even the early chorus is pretty open and simple in the loop.
Towards the end though each component comes together in the final chorus. I’m pleased with how it ended up coming together. When we play it live it’s heavy on electric guitar so the guitars add the rock bite to it that you might not pickup just listening to the loop.

True Love by Phil Wickham is truly an amazing song and it’s always been on my short list for songs to loop, but it shot to the top of the list when Easter planning started. Too bad I started planning late because this loop took me forever. It was quite challenging for me to arrange mostly due to the fact that there’s going to be some art and drama elements done while playing it, so I had to create some space for that. The version released here closely follows the recorded arrangement (parts not instrumentation) once you get past the intro.
