Here's a helpful resource for worship bands which includes a book of melodies with guitar chords, a full mix audio CD plus split trax and an instructional DVD of songs by the Desperation Band from Colorado Springs. I hope some of these songs will get the exposure they deserve and make it to the British youth scene. They could with this useful resource. The score has a straightforward melody line with guitar chords, all set in sensible keys for keyboard and guitar. Most are written in mid-range keys suitable for male and female voices, but occasionally one may still need to transpose to a different key depending on the lead voice. There are sheets for guitar with chord charts and lyrics only sheets. Songs featured include Jon Egan's "Who You Are"; Jared Anderson's "Everything To God" and "Revolve"; and Glen Packiam's "Chasing".
