I love it when artists do videos like this. Here Phil is teaching us how to play Cannons which is a great worship song. I can’t believe I have not bought this man’s album yet.

Lyrics
It’s falling from the clouds
A strange and lovely sound
I hear it in the thunder and rain
It’s ringing in the skies
Like cannons in the night
The music of the universe plays
You are holy great and mighty
The moon and the stars declare who You are
I’m so unworthy, but still You love me
Forever my heart will sing of how great You are
Beautiful and free
Song of Galaxies
It’s reaching far beyond the milky way
Lets join in with the sound
C’mon let’s sing it loud
As the music of the universe plays
All glory, honor, power is Yours amen
All glory, honor, power is Yours amen
All glory, honor, power is Yours forever amen

Both of his albums are amazing. I did “True Love” from Cannons on easter this year. He is streaming a live show on his website tonight (May 9th). I’m sure you already knew that.
Thanks Matt. Yes, he’s been plugging the May 9th thing now for ages. He says it will be available from the site after it’s recorded also for free. So I’ll probably watch it then. Thanks for reminder though!
i came across his home vids about a month ago & loved the intimacy…the v-neck shirts he wears showing his chest hair, not so much! but he just visited our church (calvaryaustin.org) to help w/worship for the weekend & was so smooth & authentic…& sounded even better than his 1st CD which is the 1 i have. just buy his stuff…u won’t regret it!

Thanks so much for the tutorial, I play keys and i couldnt find any site that had the chords properly, your video helped me tons!!
Just as a side note, i took what you have there and made a proper chord sheet with the exact chords you have there. Maybe put a link to the full chord sheet so people can access the chords more easily. If anyone wants the chord sheet to this song email me at ‘cannons@wakingthedawn.com’, and il send you the file!
thanks so much again phil for doing this!!!
Christopher… Phil is not likely to see this comment. You would be best posting this at his blog, or on YouTube. Thanks!
I love this song. Just returned from a camp where I was a counselor, the band rocked this song. I love it and want to do it at my church. In G it’s quite high for my voice… when the band played it they did it with these chords but capo on 3 or 4… any suggestions on how to make it more comfortable for my voice? Just capo? Thanks alot.
in christ,
jake
We did this song in E today. That might be a better fit for your voice.
