35 Easy Christian Songs to Play on Piano
1. “Kingdom Reign” by Collective Music
This is one of the easiest worship songs to learn because it contains just two chords: A and D.
The notes in each chord, respectively, are:
A-C#-E
D-F#-A
Notice that they share a common note (A). When playing this, you will make a chord change for each line of lyrics.
To make smoother transitions, you could play D in 2nd inversion, which means rotating the notes in the chord to be A-D-F#. Thus, you would play A-C#-E followed by A-D-F# in the right hand with A followed by D in the left hand (or bass).
