All Around

This is another song from emmanuelworship‘s 2021 album, He Is Moving, this time by Liam Desic.

Maybe it’s because of the need in young people especially for relief from guilt and a purpose in life, songs like this may sound like youth rally material, but they often feel like Lenten reflections.

Looking at the chord charts provided, the stated bpm always seems twice the actual tempo to me – or do they always just play half time. Also, who writes in F#! – I know the guitarists are capo 2 in E, but sorting out a melody line with so many sharps is hard for an old man with no musical training.

My backing is therefore approximate, even the chords are taking a while for me to get the timings correct. I suspect you are meant to just play along with their clip until the chords fall into place. I found a “Gary Numan” sounding synth and couldn’t resist.

1 I’m saying goodbye to sin
The old me, was folding in
And I found your heart
You don’t need perfection no
You welcome, you call me home
And I know it’s You

Chorus
Your Kingdom’s right where I will be
No longer slave, now I am free

2 O nothing can separate
The scandal you call your grace
And I need it now

Bridge x2
Father, father I need you now
All my life, you’ve been all around
Holy Spirit come send me out to go

Chorus
