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.
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.

This past weekend we had Ryan Delmore out to lead worship for our Anthropology Men’s Conference. Ryan did an incredible job and was a huge blessing for our men. Ryan also stayed and led worship for our Sunday service and our entire congregation was so blessed and honored to have him. Everyone entered in right away, sang their guts out even to songs they didn’t know. It was a privilege for my band to play with Ryan and we had a blast hanging out with him for a few days.
If you haven’t yet heard Ryan’s music, then you can read my review of his record “The Spirit, the Water and the Blood“ and it has links to purchase. We did a video wrap up with Ryan but unfortunately it looks like it didn’t save to my HD for some reason, project is there but video file is not. It could be that I over-wrote it when my drummer Jon Utter and Ryan did their little tip of the hat to James Brown.
I think you enjoyed this video more than the wrap up anyway. Again HUGE thanks to Ryan Delmore, he’s an amazing friend, worship leader and man of God, awesome to be able to connect with him. I mixed a little worship sampler from the set, a minute or 2 from each song, entire set condensed to 10 minutes. So you can listen to that below. Here was the set:
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.
Intro starts with a pad, then drum pattern, then the piano riff comes in. Verse 1 starts at bar 35 (00:53)
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.
