CCLI Song # 4662501
I'd been looking for a good opportunity to introduce the song "Because of Your Love" to the church, and the start of our new 40-day "WHY" sermon series this past Sunday seemed like the perfect fit. This is a song written by Brenton Brown and Paul Baloche, and it appears on both Paul Baloche's 2006 "A Greater Song" CD, and on Brenton Brown's new 2008 "Because of Your Love" CD.
Here is a YouTube video with Paul Baloche singing the song on a Christian TV show. Take a look at the video, then continue reading for some notes on how we do the song arrangement at Discovery.
The verse and chorus are on both Paul's and Brenton's CD's, but Brenton Brown adds a bridge part that I really like as well. They both do something different for the intro on this song, but I didn't think either intro would work well for us. We do the verse instrumentally for the intro, building with the band, with me leading the melody line on the piano. After we sing the verse and chorus twice, we bring it down dynamically and sing the bridge 2-3 times, building back up to the chorus.
You can get a copy of the song lyrics at Paul Baloche's website, www.leadworship.com, or you can download a chord chart with the bridge part from Brenton Brown's website, www.brentonbrown.com.
