Another Hillsong track from a few years back, this song is a declaration of our creed as believers. It's a great example of using variations on a theme and building on parts introduced earlier in a song, which also makes it fun to learn, analyze, and play strategically! Have fun!

My goal with these videos is to provide a somewhat simplified version of the percussive elements for the song, while retaining much of the feel and rhythms normally beat out on a drum kit. I don’t want to use a ton of flashy playing, or even show the full extent of what I might play if I were to sit in on cajon for a Sunday morning set with this song. I’ve been known to add hihats, tambourines, shakers, toms and a whole bunch of stuff to an “acoustic set” kit. While those can all be appropriate and a lot of fun, I don’t feel like that’s the most helpful for someone who’s sitting on a cajon for the first time or is still getting a feel for playing with a band. For these videos, I’ll stick to a cajon and an occasional shaker.

If you have any questions about playing cajon, how I approached this song, or any song requests, let me know!

Glory to God, always.

P.S. - Best lighting I’ve had yet, but still a work in progress that will hopefully continue to improve with each video shoot. A special thanks to my friend Dan, who manned the camera and puts up with my shenanigans, bloopers and rants!
