Gospel Piano Tutorial | Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart

Hi! Welcome to our gospel piano tutorial for “Give Thanks” by Don Moen. This song is one of my favorite praise and worship songs and I am sure that you will fall in love with this piece too.

As beginner it is very important that you practice songs from various genre of music. However, if you want to learn to play by ear, and learn to play a lot of chords, then I would advise you to learn as much gospel pieces as possible.

In this lesson you will learn to play all the relative major and minor chords of F major. Since this song is in the key of F, I would advise you to practice the F major scale before you begin. The notes that make the F major scale are

F – G – A – B flat – C – D – E – F.

Lyrics for Give Thanks

Give thanks with a grateful heart

Give thanks to the Holy One

Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

Give thanks with a grateful heart

Give thanks to the Holy One

Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

 
And now let the weak say, I am strong

Let the poor say, I am rich

Because of what the Lord has done for us

 
And now let the weak say, I am strong

Let the poor say, I am rich

Because of what the Lord has done for us

Give thanks.
