Bless Be The Lord God Almighty (사랑하는 나의 아버지)

Bob Fitts  

Today, I brought "Bless Be The Lord God Almighty." It's a great song that I loved a lot.

When I was 21 years old... I went to a practical music academy only after I became a college student. That was my first time going to a piano academy. I thought I knew all the chords since I've been playing the accompaniment. But when I was asked about C7 and Cmaj7, I didn't know exactly what they were. 

Just looking at the signs, playing with gut feeling was what I did. It was a shocking day when I learned that these little signs were all different chords. I was learning the chord again from the beginning, and teacher suggested me to play CCM because I am Christian. 

He told me to play "Bless be the Lord God almighty," and he told me not to focus on the melody of the song, but to add my own melody to the song. I couldn't get rid of it all, but rather expanded the melody of the chorus, "전능하신" even though my first homework was to get rid of the existing melody and make my own melody. Rather, I've expanded the melody into a full emphasis... He didn't seem to like it.

But, Isn't it amazing? Since then, I have loved this line so much.

Melody that I made as my first homework. I liked it a lot. 

I'll give you homework, so make your own melodies. Any part of it is fine because it will be your lifetime asset.
