Well since I’m playing this song and practicing for it, I thought I might as well blog on it just in case I forget in the future or if someone else wants to know how to play the lead guitar part.
This tab is based on Hillsong’s youtube video played by Nigel, Hillsong’s lead guitarist. Listen to the video for beat and timing. The original key is in Ab.

This part sounds mad. Took me a while to figure it out just from watching the video over and over again.
