Home Song Arrangements Heavenly Father

Heavenly Father

November 26, 2014 By admin 16 Comments

I had fun singing this song last night and thought it would be fun to film for you. The lyrics and chords are posted below the video.  I hope you enjoy this song. It’s an old one, but a good one. There are several different lyrics used for the song, but these are the ones I usually sing.

 

D            G                 D
Heavenly Father, I appreciate You;
A7
Heavenly Father, I appreciate You.
D          D7
I love You, adore You,
G                 Gm
Bow down before You;
D                A7               D
Heavenly Father, I appreciate You.

Son of God, what a wonder you are;
Son of God, what a wonder you are.
I love You, adore You,
Bow down before You;
Son of God, what a wonder you are.

Holy Spirit, what a comfort You are;
Holy Spirit, what a comfort You are.
You lead us, You guide us
You live right inside us;
Holy Spirit, what a comfort You

These are the simple chords to use for ‘Heavenly Father’. Later I made an entire guitar lesson with a 14 page PDF on all the thinking behind this arrangement.

    Praise the Lord sister! That was beautiful and well appreciated too!
    So nice to have some praise going into my email box with this crazy world getting crazier and darker each day.
    I pray for Jesus to return soon where we will all sing perfect praise to Him who loves us with an everlasting love.

    Thanks again sister and may you be richly blessed this day and always!

    Brother Dan

    Jean, I just arrived in the Caribbean from my home country Kenya – long journey! But you know what, our heavenly Father, Jesus, and the Blessed Holy spirit work in harmony for our good. How lovely is the song, with all the tiredness, that is what I needed to hear, and also to help me say ‘I appreciate you’ heavenly Father for granting me journey mercies all the way, for granting me favor while transiting through other countries!

    Thank you Jean, hope one day you’ll come to Kenya!

    The Lord bless you now and always!

    Hi all…just letting you know…the 2nd verse is wrong.
    It should read…
    “Son of God, what a wonder you are;
    Son of God, what a wonder you are.
    You cleansed my soul from sin,
    You sent the Holy Ghost within,
    Son of God, what a wonder you are.”
    I learned this (and others) from the original Maranatha Praise ablums.
