Piano Cover of "Yahweh"

"Yahweh" by All Nations Music is a modern worship anthem in A. Mid-tempo (95 BPM), builds through the choruses, has a bridge that opens up into full choir territory.

1. The key: A major

A major. Scale: A, Bm, C♯m, D, E, F♯m, G♯dim. Song leans on 4, 1, 5 and 6m.

2. The chord shape

Verse: 1 to 5/7 to 6m to 4 with a walking bass. Chorus: 4 to 1 to 5 to 6m to 4 to 1. Bridge sustains the 6m before opening up. Watch the All Nations recording.

3. The Sunday-ready play

• Right hand: maj7 voicings throughout. 1 as A, C♯, E, G♯.
• Left hand: walking bass on the verse (A, G♯, F♯, D), whole notes on the chorus.
• One move to add: the 5/7 (E/G♯) in the verse. Without the walking bass the whole opening loses shape.
