How to Play “10,000 Reasons” on Piano [Video Tutorial]

“10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)” by Matt Redman is a great worship song to learn on piano because you can play it with a very simple accompaniment or add more movement and detail as your skills grow.

In this tutorial, I'll walk you through the chords and show you how to play the song in two different styles: a simple version and a more advanced version.

Play It Simply

The first version of the song is intentionally simple.

This approach works well if you're a beginner or if you're accompanying vocals and want to keep the piano part supportive rather than busy. Focus on steady timing, clean chord changes, and listening to the melody.

A simple accompaniment can be very effective when it's played confidently.

Add More Detail

After working through the basic version, we'll take the same song a step further.

The advanced version demonstrates how you can use additional movement and more developed accompaniment techniques to create a fuller piano sound. You can use these ideas when the song builds or when you want the piano to contribute more energy.

You don't need to play the advanced version exactly as demonstrated. Think of it as a collection of ideas you can adapt to your own playing.

Watch the tutorial below and follow along as we work through the chords and both playing styles.

If you're newer to worship piano, start with the simple version and make sure you can play the song comfortably before adding anything else. If you're already comfortable with chords and accompaniment patterns, challenge yourself to incorporate some of the advanced techniques.

The more you practice this process—learn the chords, establish a simple accompaniment, then add musical detail—the easier it becomes to learn new worship songs on piano.
