The song works especially well during Christmas services, with a strong, joyful message that’s easy for congregations to sing and engage with.
The chords are straightforward and repeat throughout most of the song, making it approachable for acoustic guitar or a full band. Many modern versions, including covers like Needtobreathe’s, lean into a more driving rhythm, which adds energy and makes it a great closer for a Christmas-themed set. You can play it in the key of G or A, or adjust with a capo depending on your vocal range. This chart is available in the key of G and A, along with a Nashville Numbers version for easy transposing.
