This song from Maverick City seems sure to become a timeless classic! It reminds us that the hope we have is in a faithful, timeless God who does what He says He will. Clocking it at 86 BPM in 6/8 meter, and originally in Bb. Syncopated, shuffly tom grooves drive much of this track, which makes for a fun time with a cajon! This recording is a chopped down version of the original live track- similar to the radio edit, but I think this musical arrangement is more approachable and congregation-friendly. Most of the time we've done this song at my church, it's been very close to this arrangement.
My goal with these videos is to provide a somewhat simplified version of the percussive elements for the song, while retaining much of the feel and rhythms normally beat out on a drum kit. I don’t want to use a ton of flashy playing, or even show the full extent of what I might play if I were to sit in on cajon for a Sunday morning set with this song. I’ve been known to add hihats, tambourines, shakers, toms and a whole bunch of stuff to an “acoustic set” kit. While those can all be appropriate and a lot of fun, I don’t feel like that’s the most helpful for someone who’s sitting on a cajon for the first time or is still getting a feel for playing with a band. For these videos, I’ll stick to a cajon and an occasional shaker.
If you have any questions about playing cajon, how I approached this song, or any song requests, let me know!
Glory to God, always.
