“Authority” by Brooke Ligertwood is a modern worship song centered on the authority and victory of Jesus Christ, and this Authority chord chart gives guitar players a simple way to lead it in a worship setting. The song has a reflective but confident feel that builds naturally as it progresses, making it especially effective during response moments or worship sets focused on the power and name of Jesus.
The progression is straightforward and repeats throughout much of the song, making it approachable for acoustic guitar or a full band. Once the pattern is locked in, the focus becomes dynamics, feel, and supporting the vocal rather than technical playing. The arrangement works well both stripped down or with fuller instrumentation as the song builds.
This chart is available in the key of C, along with a Nashville Numbers version for easy transposing.
