I've transposed this Andrae Crouch Praise Hymn down a 1/2 step from the original key of Eb to the key of D with chords for easy guitar.

Few musicians have had such a major influence on church music around the world in the last half of the 20th century than Andraé Crouch (1942-2015). It would be difficult to overestimate his importance in the Gospel music field during the last 50 years. Few have had such a sustained level of accomplishment and recognition in gospel music—seven Grammys, six Dove awards, an Oscar nomination, induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame (1998), a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2004, and much more.

The United Methodist Hymnal contains three of Crouch’s songs, “My Tribute” (No. 99), “Through It All” (No. 507), and “Soon and Very Soon” (No. 706). The Faith We Sing includes his well-known “Bless His Holy Name” (No. 2015). Zion Still Sings (2007) contains one of his earliest and most enduring songs, “The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power” (No. 204), which was written when Crouch was 15 years old and became a hit when it was included in the album Take the Message Everywhere (1969). Together, these provide only the slimmest selection of his more than 350 songs on more than 20 albums. His 40th anniversary album, Mighty Wind, was released in 2006; and his final album, Live in Los Angeles, was released in 2013, less than two years before his death. In addition, he appeared on at least 40 albums and additional videos produced by others.
Andraé and his twin sister Sandra were born in San Francisco. Their parents owned and operated dry-cleaning and restaurant businesses. In addition, they were heavily involved in ministries including street-preaching, hospital, and prison work. Whenever his father was asked to preach in small congregations, Andraé could be found at the piano playing and singing. He wrote his first Gospel song at age 14.

Before his twentieth birthday, he formed the Church of God in Christ Singers (COGICS) in 1960. Thi
