NOTES ON THIS CHART
While this arrangement is based on the Sovereign Grace Music recording Prepare Him Room, this chart has some changes to facilitate congregational singing. The key has been raised from C minor to D minor, but this package includes alternate versions in the original key of C minor and the guitar-friendly key of E minor as well.
This arrangement has these important differences from the recording:
1. An introduction has been added.
2. A simple keyboard part has been provided for the first verse to allow the congregation to sing rather than the
a capella statement of the first verse on the recording.
3. The last two measures have optional chords so as not to end the song a capella, if desired.
Other than these changes, this chart follows the form and style of the recording. This chart can be used to perform the song exactly like the recording by skipping the intro, directing the instruments not to play until measure 13, and directing the instruments not to play the last two measures.
