How to play "Sefapanong Ke Bohang"

"Sefapanong Ke Bohang" by Eternal Glory Church Worship is Sesotho worship. The title means "at the cross I bow." A slow, contemplative song built for the moment after preaching, before communion.

1. The key: E♭ major

E♭ major. Scale: E♭, Fm, Gm, A♭, B♭, Cm, Ddim. Song lives in 4, 2m, 1 for the verse and 1, 5, 4, 6m in the chorus.

2. The chord shape

Verse: 4 to 2m to 1, deliberate and stepping down. Chorus: 1 to 5 to 4 to 6m to 5 to 1. The 2m7 (Fm7) is the emotional pivot. Watch the Eternal Glory recording and hear how the band leaves space around the vocal.

3. The Sunday-ready play

• Right hand: E♭maj7 for the 1. Fm7 for the 2m. Every chord voiced with a 7 for weight.
• Left hand: half notes. Nothing more.
• One move to add: turn the 2m into a 2m7♭5 (Fm7♭5) before the 5 (B♭) in the chorus. That half-diminished slips into the 5 like a benediction.

4. When the leader calls a different key

Sesotho worship travels. Numbers hold. Gig Mode gives you the letters.
