His Child
An original worship song, words by Henry Q Allen. Here is the chord chart, free, with the numbers under every chord. The chorus walks the circle, and one chord pulls it home every time.
Both print clearly in black and white. No sign-up needed.
The move to learn
Dm Gm C F A
The chorus walks 6, 2, 5, 1. Each chord moves down a fifth to the next one. Then A, the 3 chord made major, pulls it right back home to Dm. If you know the 7-3-6, you already know that pull.
The song is in D minor, and we count it in F, its major key. In C the chorus is Am, Dm, G, C, then E back to Am.
Listen for the key change at the bridge. The whole song moves up to F minor and stays there. The numbers do not change. Only the key does. The verse also ends on D major, the 6 made major, and it points to Gm at the pre-chorus. Try it by ear.

Who wrote this. I started learning piano at thirty-five, because my pastor asked me to become the church musician. I play by ear, every Sunday at my church in St. Louis since March 2007. I write these songs, and then I chart them the way I would want to learn them.
