I’ve heard this song quite a few times, but never like I heard it on Mars Hill’s Good Friday service. I heard the words in a new way, the arrangement was incredibly moving and I was broken. I probably listened to it 100 times for the next couple weeks. It really is one of the best arrangements of any hymn I’ve ever heard. Chad Gardner and the Mars Hill team did an INCREDIBLE job on this song.

This loop follows Mars Hill’s arrangement very closely. There are some instrumentation changes here and there, but really any credit for creativity must goto Chad Gardner and team for this. The first time we played this song with this loop in our Sunday service was absolutely incredible, one of the best worship times I’ve experienced. God did a lot of work in our hearts that day.

If you don’t have Reason and need some instruments muted, just let me know.

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.

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.

I’ve been working on this loop for a few weeks and used it twice in service. I’ve been with-holding it’s release because I have a few more ideas that I want to try out before I ‘ll consider it done, but I figure why not expose that process. So I’m going to release this loop for Hosanna as version 1, when I complete it I’ll release another version and you can see the difference. I’ve made available 2 versions below, one with acoustic and the other without.

There’s a couple things to watch out for on this loop that differ from the album arrangement.

1. Intro starts with a pad, then drum pattern, then the piano riff comes in. Verse 1 starts at bar 35 (00:53)
2. The solo section is twice as long. I do a solo for the first half then we sing a tag that I wrote on the back half. Solo section comes in at bar 119 (3:05) and stops at bar 151 (3:55).

I think besides those 2 things I repeat sections as the album does. Don’t forget to rate the loop below and please comment with any questions or feedback you may have.

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.

I originally posted this loop back in July and have had some ask more details about the arrangement. So I’m reposting with some more details and releasing it on the podcast. The first time I heard Our God Reigns by Delirious I was incredibly moved. It’s just such a powerful melody.

I started experimenting with some string arrangements and stumbled on an arrangement I really liked. I knew I wanted to introduce the song slowly so I started out with an electronic pattern sequence, then built some drums on it, then brought in the strings. Slowly layering as the song progressed. I do a break down at 2:25 that has some violin plucking and a voice pad, then bring back all the instruments for the finish.

If you would like to know the gruesome details as to how I arranged live instruments on this then leave a comment and I’ll get back to you. Enjoy.
