From Mount Chapel
Just got back from Soul Survivor week A (twas awesome) and one of my favourite songs of the event was My Praise Overflows. I think it's written by Tom Field and that may not be the title but the words are 'my praise overflows from my heart, from the depths of my soul'. I asked him if he had the music but it wasn't in the Soul Survivor book and he couldn't find a copy to give me so I was wondering if anyone knew where I could either:
1) hear the song
2) get chords
3) get words
If anyone could even find the song it would be useful for playing to the worship band and working out the chords. I have Googled long and hard to no avail. Help me fellow worship centralites!
Thanks.
Og.
I think this is the complete song lyrics.
Loved this song at Soul Survivor
When my soul is weak You are strength for me
When I call on Your name Jesus Christ You sustain
When I'm broken and lost I remember Your cross
When I'm struggling and bound you break the walls that surround
Chorus:
My praise overflows, from my heart, from the depths of my soul
When I'm empty and dry
hurting and broken inside
I can call on your name
Jesus Christ you sustain
(maybe another verse here)
Chorus:
My praise overflows, from my heart, from the depths of my soul
Bridge:
To my God who reigns the only one who's worthy of praise
Who conquered death and rose from the grave
Oh how I love you, Jesus I love you
When I've run the race
Only by Your grace
You will lead me home
To where I belong
My hope secure in your name
No more hurt no more pain
I am forever yours
You are forever mine
Awesome. Thanks guys. I can probably work out the chords by memory and I'll post them here when I do but it would be great to have a recording of the actual version to send around to the rest of the band. Great work guys!
Some more chords - the chords [in brackets] are played with the syllable following them (capo 2)
Verse:
When my [G]soul is weak You are [Em]strength for me
When I [C]call on Your name Jesus [G]Christ You sustain [D] (repeat for all)
Bridge:
To my [C]God who rei[D]gns the only one who's [Em]worthy of pra[D]ise
Who conquered death and [C]rose from the gra[D]ve
Oh how I [Em]love you, Jesus I [D]love you
Oh how I [C]love you, Jesus I [D]love you
Chorus:
My [G]praise over[D]flows, from my [Em]heart, from the [C]depths of my soul
Good work on (possibly) the rest of the lyrics, Chris.
I agree, great song.
Anyone know who the I'll follow your fire song was by? Could do with doing the same for that
I think (think) that I'll follow your fire was by Jamie (is his surname Rodwell?) and Samuel somebody (can't remember).
FWIW, I think My Praise Overflows was cowritten by Tom and Jamie.
If I saw the credits correctly.
Yeah, My Praise Overflows was by Tom Field and Jamie Rodwell, saw the copyright thingy, but it was too small for me to see for the I'll follow your fire song
Just listened to it again and think these are the complete words
My Praise Overflows
When my soul is weak
You breathe strength for me
When darkness falls
You’re the light I seek
When all hope seems lost
I remember Your cross
When I'm struggling and bound
You break the walls that surround
Chorus:
My praise overflows, from my heart, from the depths of my soul x2
When I'm empty and dry
hurting and broken inside
I can call on your name
Jesus Christ you sustain

My praise overflows, from my heart, from the depths of my soul x2
Bridge:
To my God who reigns the only one who's worthy of praise
Who conquered death and rose from the grave
Oh how I love you, Jesus I love you
When I've run the race

To where I belong
My hope secure in your name
No more hurt no more pain
I am forever yours
You are forever mine

I searched this world for something that endures
Beyond this life
Only You who’s days will never cease
And satisfy

You’re the air that I breathe
You’re the song that I sing

In every way
I’m letting go of treasures on the earth
I’m holding onto You

I'm going to work out the chords for the rest tonight. I'll post when I have them. If anyone can correct any errors or remember that missing line, I'd really appreciate it.
