I've been looking for more innovative ways of ending my songs, other than going from V to the I.
Does anyone have ideas on progressions i can use to end a song. There is this one progression that gospel musicians use a lot, an example is in Kirk Franklin's song (Still In Control). Its like going from II III IV V or something like that. Thanks ya'll.

Are they all major chords, like that (the way you have it written)?

I don't think so. I think its liek you would play the chords diatonically, i.e the II minor, III minor and so on. I'm just looking for different ways to end a song apart from the IV- V-I.

gotcha.

The other common way to end is to do a Vdom-vi-viidim or vii-I..
I also like the vi-bvi-V-vii-I or V ..In this case, the bvi / #v is a sub for the ii & the vii is a (can I call it a) passing note that helps you to resolve to a I.
Depending on how fast you play your bass notes, you have plenty of options to play around with, one of them being : vi-bvi-V-vii-bVdim or bv-V-(I)
wo-ryt, let me pause there 4 now & try the other stuff before I post it.

I use....
bIII Maj9-ii min9-V 13 b9-I Maj7
or
#VI Maj9-bIII 13-#V 7-V13-I 6/9
You can use the last one to change the key to the key of the #V, which is a half-step up, or even move the #V up a half-step to VI7, and change the key a whole-step.

I've been experimenting with ending songs on 4. So, here are a few things u could try:
2 / 4 chord (D / C-F-A)
3 / 5 chord (E / D-G-B)
4 / 1 chord (F / E-G-C)
or
2 / 4 chord (D / C-F-A)
1 / 5 chord (C / D-G-B)
4 / 1 chord (F / E-G-C)
or
2 / 4 chord (D / C-F-A)
1 / 5 chord (C / D-G-B)
b7 / 4 chord (Bb / F-A-C)
or
B / A-D-F (7)
E / G#-C-D-G (3)
A / F#-G#-B-C#-E (6)

Nice T-block
-
T-Block, I love the ending on the 6th, I do that myself, sometimes (when I remember :-[ :D)
I'm really trying to get a good grasp of ending on the 4, too.
B3, is that 3 (in the key of C) an Eb Maj 9 or an E Maj 9?
-
I see some savoury stuff (from B3) & some majestic stuff from T..
I need to start applying now!

Time for me to use this handy "Print" feature. ;D
Nice stuff guys. Ending on the one all the time is so boring.
Here's one I like to do, with an accompanying melody line:
Note: I got this from a DVD...don't recall which one.
2nd Note: I'm an organist, so I'll TRY to write these in Keyboard technique.
Key: Ab
Bb-F-Ab/Db-F-Ab-C 2
Eb-Bb/Db-G-Bb 5
ok, here it is:
E-Ab-B-E/Ab, Bb, B, Eb b6
Gb-Bb-Db/Gb-Bb-Db b7
G-Bb-Db-E/Bb 7
Eb, Db
Ab-Eb-Ab/Eb-Ab-C 1

The "ii9" chord was supposed to be "ii min9". I was sleepy.
It's actually a IV chord taken from the key of B. You can see it clearer in the second progression.

I don't normally end in a 6 unless when I play songs in minor keys..
But what I do normally play is this:
5/4-6-1-3
6/#4-6-1-3
2/#4-6-1-3
b2/---(pass)
1/3-6-7-2
or
5/4-6-1-3
5/4-(5)-6-7-2
7 or b2/--(pass)
1/3-6-7-2,3-6-7-3 or 1/3-5-7-2, 2-6-7-3
or
5/5-1-3-5
b5/6-1-b3-4
7/---(pass)
1/3-7-1-2-3
