Uses: General, Praise Team, Youth Choir
Scripture: Psalm 86:12; Jude 1:25
The power of praise is front and center in this steady ballad for the contemporary church from Matt Redman. The melody contains itself with a range that is very approachable, and the solid refrain offers fuller harmonies and memorable gestures. This popular song translates beautifully to a choral treatment, and the style and arrangement work well with or without the rhythm and string sections. Great for blended services!

About the Arranger: Richard Kingsmore
Richard Kingsmore brings a gift for translating contemporary songs into choral textures that honor both the original and the ensemble singing them. His arrangements prioritize singability and emotional directness, qualities that have made his work valuable in worship settings and educational choirs alike.
Kingsmore understands the practical realities of volunteer and youth choirs. He writes voicings that sit comfortably for mixed ensembles while preserving the song's core identity, allowing groups to deliver polished results without excessive rehearsal time.
Why we love this
Kingsmore's approach strips away nothing essential while making the piece genuinely accessible. The refrain expands into fuller harmonies without losing sight of the melody, and the fact that it works equally well with or without instrumentation means you're not locked into one rehearsal strategy or performance context.
What to expect
The piece settles into a grounded, confident space. There's an unhurried quality to the ballad that lets the scriptural foundation (Psalm 86:12 and Jude 1:25) anchor the musical statement without needing to chase energy or sentiment.
Who it's for
Worship teams, youth choirs, and blended congregational services benefit most from this arrangement. It works for groups without instrumental resources and equally for those who want full instrumentation, making it versatile across different church environments and rehearsal schedules.
How to get the most out of it
- Let the steady ballad tempo breathe. Resist the urge to push forward; the power comes from conviction, not speed.
- Balance the refrain's fuller harmonies so the melody still carries the line. Close voicings can blur the tune if one part oversings.
- If performing with rhythm and strings, use them to anchor the pocket rather than fill every space. Restraint keeps the arrangement's strengths visible.
- The approachable vocal range means even developing singers can commit to the text without struggling for notes. Use that freedom to focus on message and phrasing.
How to use it
Slot this into a Sunday morning service as an anthem or congregational moment when you want something contemporary but musically substantive. It also serves well in a concert context, paired with other sacred contemporary material or as a moment of genuine worship within a youth choir program.
