Title: "Come on and Bless the Lord with Me"
Post by: Rocker on November 30, 2004, 04:43:55 PM

Anybody know who sings the song "Come on and bless the lord with me"?
The leader says that, then the choir comes in with Hallelujah.

The chords repeat.

C- come on and bless the
F- Lord with
C/G- Me.
 
C/G- Bless the
F-Lord with
C- Me.

 You can invert the chords into which ever key you need or would like, and you know that you can always add in your own variations. Sometimes at my church we add a reggae or carribean flavor, but its all up to.

Here are the chord changes for come on and bless the Lord with me

Jakes cd starts it in the key of C and rises but I just did them in Db because it seems so many people like or are comfotable in that key

I also uploaded a short midi file to my web site let me know if this helps

Here's a version in C

C / E G C - BLESS
E / D Ab - THE
F / Eb A - LORD
G / F A C -WITH ME

DO THAT 3 TIMES THEN ON THE LAST ONE TRY THIS

Eb / G Bb C Eb - BLESS
G / - THE
Ab / F# Bb C# F - LORD
C# / F Ab C Eb - WITH
C / E G B D - ME

The ending is a 2-5-1 substitute progression (just learned that last nite from 4hisglory 8O  :D  :D ) but it works!! :wink:  :lol:  :lol:
