Psalms 150:4

This is for my Music Ministry, so all the tabs and TEF file is free for everyone. I sincerely hope you will take this and learn it to play for others. Music is a powerful Ministry, and I believe you can reach people this way. I also hope this will draw you closer to God.

For this month’s Music Ministry we are doing Hank Williams song “I Saw The Light”. Really fun song to play! So grab those tabs and Tef file to practice with and get to learning it!

I also did an up the neck version of this here (no tabs for it but I break it all down for you in the video)

Here are the lyrics and chords in the key of G.

For this month’s music ministry, here’s an easy break (beginner level) for Jesus Loves Me. You can play this as an intro, as a break between singing, and so on. I’ll put the chords below for you too.

If you’d like the tabs or play along lesson on this, you’ll need to be a member of the website for that.

This month’s Music Ministry lesson. On my homemade box dulcimer. Free for everyone.

LYRICS:

Some glad morning when this life is o’er, 
I’ll fly away; 
To a home on God’s celestial shore, 
I’ll fly away (I’ll fly away). 

Chorus 
I’ll fly away, Oh Glory 
I’ll fly away; (in the morning) 
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by, 
I’ll fly away (I’ll fly away). 

When the shadows of this life have gone, 
I’ll fly away; 
Like a bird from prison bars has flown, 
I’ll fly away (I’ll fly away) 

Chorus 

Just a few more weary days and then, 
I’ll fly away; 
To a land where joy shall never end, 
I’ll fly away (I’ll fly away)

Chorus

Here is my next Music Ministry lesson for clawhammer banjo. The hymn is Farther Along. What a beautiful song. You’ll find tabs, the TEF file, and the lyrics here for you. Please share this far and wide to anyone who plays banjo! Please also honor my request and don’t remove my name, website, or try to profit in any way off this. God Bless you brothers and sisters!

To use the TEF FILE you’ll need to download the FREE viewer called TABLEDIT. Click HERE to download on any device. This program is GREAT fun and a wonderful practice tool. I offer this to members who are at my yearly level. It allows you to see and hear the tab playthrough with a metronome as well that you can speed up, slow down, turn the banjo on or off so you just hear the metronome. Really nice practice help.

1. Tempted and tried, we’re oft made to wonder
   Why it should be thus all the day long;
   While there are others living about us,
   Never molested, though in the wrong.
   • Refrain:
     Farther along we’ll know more about it,
     Farther along we’ll understand why;
     Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
     We’ll understand it all by and by.
2. Sometimes I wonder why I must suffer,
   Go in the rain, the cold, and the snow,
   When there are many living in comfort,
   Giving no heed to all I can do.
3. Tempted and tried, how often we question
   Why we must suffer year after year,
   Being accused by those of our loved ones,
   E’en though we’ve walked in God’s holy fear.
4. Often when death has taken our loved ones,
   Leaving our home so lone and so drear,
   Then do we wonder why others prosper,
   Living so wicked year after year.
5. “Faithful till death,” saith our loving Master;
   Short is our time to labor and wait;
   Then will our toiling seem to be nothing,
   When we shall pass the heavenly gate.
6. Soon we will see our dear, loving Savior,
   Hear the last trumpet sound through the sky;
   Then we will meet those gone on before us,
   Then we shall know and understand why.

This is for my Music Ministry! You get the tabs and tef* to practice with for free. I hope you are blessed by it in some small way. Please learn it and play it for your family, friends, and anyone you can. Then learn more hymns. God bless you!

A tef file is a tabledit file. You’d can download it for free here and it’s a wonderful practice tool. Download it HERE for any device.

Here’s a super fun strum lesson on mandolin (with singing) for Amazing Grace in the Key of D. At the end I tell you about the chords in the key of G as well.

This song is commonly played in these 2 keys. I chose D because it’s easier for me to sing in D. So the chords are D, G, and A and they POP UP as needed on screen. I also show you an EASY STRUM PATTERN for 3/4 time songs.

Here are the lyrics below for your if you’d like to sing with it. We are just using an easy A chord in place of the A7.

Below the lyrics, I’ve linked the lesson on the melody notes for you also. Get this strumming down nicely, then move on to that lesson.
