I would like to have a look at more recent emmanuelworship music. Their most recent album, “He Is Moving” only has chords posted, which makes it a lot more work, so I’ll go back to 2019’s “Glory” for which they have kindly provided lead sheets.
This song is a praise and worship song by Liam Desic. What he somewhat lacks in coherence lyrically, he more than makes up for in passion. The music makes for a healthy exercise in syncopation and goes awfully high in places.
I’ve made a backing to sing along with to learn the song.
1 I’m in the deep, under the stars.
My heart is desperate to hear your call.
And when I hear, your voice oh God,
I’d best be present, step out into You.
Prechorus
You’ve won my heart, taught me to love.
Oh Lord your mercy changes me
Chorus
I am new now, just want to draw close to You
and I, find rest in your holy name.
I am new now, just want to draw close to You
and I, find rest in your holy name.
2 For I have turned my back on him,
But to you Father, I’m welcomed home.
It don’t make sense, It’s not cautious love,
Oh Lord your mercy, It changes me.
Prechorus
Chorus
Bridge x4
Celebrate his goodness, God the Lord most high,
Pulled me out of darkness, now I’m walking in the light.
3 Now I have seen, what love can do.
I’ve seen my mountains, they crumble down.
I’ll bear my heart, step in to light,
And now I declare, I’ll give it all.
Prechorus
Chorus

They have very generous licensing arrangements at emmanuel worship, which I think are worth looking to as a model.
