I Want to Sing About You

This is a heart felt song of personal reflection from Emmanuel Worship, written by Madeleine Luciano.

Think of it as a new take on “How Can I Keep from Singing.” I should mention that repeated close listening and entering all the chords and notes into Band in a Box and then fiddling the instruments in and out, means I spend quite a lot of time on these Emmanuel songs, and while many are not liturgical at all, they are very moving and a useful corrective for a crusty old cynic like me.

The lead sheets and chord charts are available at Emmanuel Worship. I think I’ve got the order right, because the chord chart doesn’t really reflect how they sing it, the lead sheet is more accurate.

VERSE

So many things have been said about You, so many stories I’ve heard about You
But all I want to know is what is true.
They sing so many different songs about You, so many words to describe You
And all I want to know is what is true.

CHORUS

Come and show me so I can sing about You
Come so I can sing about what is true

POST-CHORUS A

I wanna know who You are, in my own words I wanna tell the stories too.
I wanna sing, I wanna sing, I’ll sing about You, just like they do.
I wanna sing, I’ll sing about You, just like they do.

BRIDGE

So I’m following Your ways, I’m starting a new page.
I’m writing my new ways, I wanna follow You – I’ll follow you all my days x4


I wanna sing about you all my days.

CHORUS

POST-CHORUS B

Now that I know who You are, in my own words I wanna tell the stories too.
Now I will sing, now I will sing, I’ll sing about You just like they do.

I’m gonna sing, I’ll sing about You just like they do.
I’m gonna sing, I’ll sing about You just like they do.
I’m gonna sing, I’ll sing about You just like they do.
