The Lord Is My Shepherd And I Want To Follow Chords
Alma Wass
I have just published a new chord melody collection of hymns, as well as an update of the Christmas carol chord melody collection. The prices here reflect 2024, and may not remain at that price in the future.
I have had most of the work on the hymn book finished for a couple of years, but could not find the drive to record the videos necessary to make them. This is aided by the fact that it does not appear that the people who buy the Christmas carol collection use the videos. So I decided to just put together all the hymns and publish the collection.

If you are curious about what my arrangements look like or sound like, you can see examples of some free Chord Melodies on this website. There are videos for most of the free arrangements on my YouTube channel.

However, if you want to start ukulele with F and C7 (a common practice of elementary music teachers), I have to caution that there are very few songs that use only these two chords (there ARE a few play alongs with them including 2 in the next couple of weeks on this channel).
Copyright allows creators to be paid for their work, though in the music industry, only a small percentage of the sale of a work (printed or audio recording) ever makes it to the composer, lyricist, or performer. But still, for items under copyright, this is the right way to do things.
I also want to remind everyone that the lists do not feature school-safe music. If you are looking for school-safe music, check out my Ukulele Video Method. There may be some songs that are not appropriate for your school in my method, but in general, it is pretty well vetted as I teach American elementary students (K-5 or ages 4-11).
I just wanted to write a short note following my participation at the 2023 Silver Creek International Ukulele Carnival which was held this past weekend (August 17-20, 2023). Two Harbors is located on Lake Superior roughly a half hour North of Duluth, Minnesota.
And the weather this year, other than the smell of smoke we have experienced throughout the summer (Canadian wildfires), was UNBELIEVABLE this year. Check out this sunset from Agate Bay (The Two Harbors) on Saturday Night:
f you are looking for a wonderful ukulele event and want to visit Northern Minnesota (and yes, you can still drive quite a bit before you get to Canada), make plans to go next year! There are hotels in town, and there are campgrounds around as well as some (dry) camping on site.
This video aligns with the content of the new book, which brings participants/students all the way to the B-flat chord. Yes, anyone can use the materials, and as I always say, you can make donations towards the work at
Kala was applauded for the acknowledged design tribute to Maccaferri ukuleles (the moulds were destroyed, so no one could make them as they once were made), but criticized for their playability more than anything else. The action, or string height over the fretboard, was consistently too high, and was non-adjustable. The sound has never been an issue, as it is an ABS ukulele intended for harsh environments, like water (thus the name of the ukulele).
I presented ukulele sessions at the Ohio Music Educators Association earlier in February (thanks to Peripole Music), and there were several booths with ukuleles on hand. West Music had their own series of ukuleles (which I have not reviewed), and some Makala instruments. They also had models of the updated Waterman on hand.
As you can see from the above photos, action is much too high (standard action should be 0.5mm at the 1st and 2.65mm at the 12th fret). I do not know if lowering the saddle would be close enough to meet standard action measurements.
Let's be honest, you want your band to sound great. Beyond just the chords, our lead sheets and piano/vocal charts give you a clear road map to follow. Establish a tempo, find the groove, play the right chords, and sing the melody with the right kind of harmony. Everything comes together when the members of your band are all on the same page. We take pride in our charts so that you can play with confidence, sound amazing, and truly lead your congregation in life-changing worship.
My dear brothers and sisters, it is a joy to be with you today. There is a wonderful spirit here on the BYU campus. There is a wonderful spirit here among you. You are truly remarkable. I commend you for the goodness of your lives and your devotion to the Savior and His gospel. You are His sheep, and you hear His voice. You are an example to the entire Church.
The early Latter-day Saints needed that confirming witness of the Holy Ghost often, but one day when it was especially crucial was August 8, 1844. Six weeks earlier, the Prophet Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum had been martyred. Mob violence was threatening, and the Saints were without their beloved leader. There was no precedent to tell them how the Church would move forward and who would lead them.
. . . I tell you, in the name of the Lord, that no man can put another between the Twelve and the Prophet Joseph. Why? Because . . . he has committed into their hands the keys of the kingdom in this last dispensation, for all the world.4
Sidney Rigdon made a speech and claimed to have authority to lead the Church; others had similar claims. None appeared reasonable to me. . . . But the God of Heaven . . . sent President [Brigham] Young home just in time, and clothed him . . . [with] the spirit and power which had rested on Joseph. . . . If any one doubts the right of Brigham to manage affairs for the Saints, all I have to say to them is this. Get the spirit of God and know for yourselves. The Lord will provide for his own.6
They were addressed by elder Brigham Young, the president of the quorum of the twelve. . . . The spirit of wisdom and counsel attended all his teachings, he struck upon a chord, with which all hearts beat in unison.10
Here was Sidney Rigdon and other men rising up and claiming to be the leaders of the church; and men stood, as it were, on a pivot, not knowing which way to turn. But just as quick as Brigham Young rose in that assembly . . . , the power of God that was upon Joseph Smith was upon him; he had the voice of Joseph, and it was the voice of the shepherd.11
My dear brothers and sisters, 181 years have now passed since that visit of the Prophet Joseph with President Van Buren. What Joseph taught then is still true today. The gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands is a great differentiator between The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other churches. It is a central difference between having the blessings of the restored gospel in our lives and not having them. The gift of the Holy Ghost blessed the Saints in 1839, and it blesses you today.
In February 1847, the Saints were in Winter Quarters, preparing for their journey to the Salt Lake Valley. They were wrestling with a difficult doctrinal problem, and Brigham Young felt inadequate to solve it. One night, Joseph Smith, who had now been dead for more than two and a half years, appeared to Brigham Young in a vision. Brigham explained the problem and asked Joseph if he had any counsel.
Tell the people to be humble and faithful, and be sure to keep the spirit of the Lord. . . . If they will, they will find themselves just as they were organized by our Father in Heaven before they came into the world. . . .
Years later, on April 19, 1893, a special meeting was held for all General Authorities and stake presidencies in the recently dedicated Salt Lake Temple. By this time, Brigham Young had long since passed away, and Wilford Woodruff was president of the Church. In this meeting, President Woodruff spoke of seeing Brigham Young and Heber Kimball in a vision. They were riding to a conference in a carriage, and they invited Wilford to join with them. Wilford got in the carriage and asked Brigham Young to speak.
My beloved brothers and sisters, I plead with you to increase your spiritual capacity to receive revelation. . . . Choose to do the spiritual work required to enjoy the gift of the Holy Ghost and hear the voice of the Spirit more frequently and more clearly.17
An important tool in this effort is the Sunday School organization. The Sunday School is the oldest formal teaching organization in the Church. The format of Sunday School and its classes have changed over the years, but its purpose remains the same: to bless the Saints with the influence of the Holy Ghost.
The long-standing objective of the Church is to assist all members to increase their faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and in His Atonement, to assist them in making and keeping their covenants with God, and to strengthen and seal their families. In this complex world today, this is not easy. The adversary is increasing his attacks on faith and upon us and our families at an exponential rate. To survive spiritually, we need counterstrategies and proactive plans. Accordingly, we now want to put in place organizational adjustments that will further fortify our members and their families.21
With those promises in our hearts, as Latter-day Saints, we began a more home-centered study of the scriptures with the Come, Follow Me resource as a guide. In 2019 we studied the New Testament, in 2020 the Book of Mormon, and this year we are studying the Doctrine and Covenants.
Consider the reasons we pray and study the scriptures. Yes, we yearn to communicate in prayer with Heavenly Father in the name of His Son. And yes, we desire to obtain the light and knowledge available in the standard works. But please remember that these holy habits primarily are ways whereby we always remember Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son and are prerequisites to the ongoing companionship of the Holy Ghost. . . .
Praying, studying, gathering, worshipping, serving, and obeying are not isolated and independent items on a lengthy gospel checklist of things to do. Rather, each of these righteous practices is an important element in an overarching spiritual quest to fulfill the mandate to receive the Holy Ghost. The commandments from God we obey and the inspired counsel from Church leaders we follow principally focus upon obtaining the companionship of the Spirit. Fundamentally, all gospel teachings and activities are centered on coming unto Christ by receiving the Holy Ghost in our lives.25
