It is interesting how the best selling MultiTracks and Split Tracks differ. This is likely due to larger churches buying MultiTracks (because they have existing musicians, larger worship teams and want more versatility in their worship services). Split tracks tend to be purchased by smaller churches that tend to prefer older, more established songs and have often not yet discovered the newer releases. So for instance, our number one selling MultiTrack, Graves Into Gardens, does not even feature in our Split Track top 25.
So if you are in a small church and haven’t yet discovered some of these newer songs such as Graves into Gardens, House of the Lord and The Father’s House do have a listen and consider introducing them to your services.
We know it’s early but Christmas is one of the most intense periods of the year for worship musicians. And for many this is the first Christmas in two years where we have enjoyed face-to-face services.
We’ve got an extensive collection of carols and Christmas songs available in both MultiTrack and Split Track format.
Carols are notoriously tricky for guitarists to play. So we’ve simplified our chord charts to make them playable! Of course they follow the arrangement of our MultiTracks but even if you are not using tracks you’ll still find the chord charts invaluable.
When you are on the look out for an amazing, singable new worship song that you know your congregation will love AND be able to sing confidently within a couple of verses? Well we’ve found that new song for you.
Confession Hymn is written by Matt Weeks and Matt Tinsley. It features Matt Weeks with Nicki Rogers on vocals. It is a beautiful liturgical confession hymn with an uplifting, forward looking and positive lyrical outlook.
Watch the video below and you’ll find yourself humming the melody for the rest of the day (a sign of a great song). Worship Backing Band have Confession Hymn available as a downloadable MultiTrack and Split Track. It also comes with a free chord chart.
As well as being a producer, song writer and bass player for many of the best known worship leaders around the world, Matt Weeks is also the presenter of Musicademy’s Worship Bass courses. He is the session bass player of choice for many international worship leaders including Chris Tomlin, Stuart Townend, Matt Redman, Tim Hughes, Brenton Brown, Graham Kendrick and many others.
Nicki Rogers is one of Musicademy’s long standing vocals teachers and features on our Worship Vocals course and Band Skills course as well as teaching at Musicademy’s live training days.
We have released six more new tracks available now from Worship Backing Band.
These are in both MultiTrack and Split Track format:
Egypt (Bethel)
Powerhouse songwriters and worship leaders Cory Asbury and Phil Wickham join together in creating this unique style of song which begins almost as a worship ballad and then kicks into double-time for the hand-clapping bridge.
God You’re So Good (Passion)
This is a beautiful extended arrangement of the well known chorus “God You’re So Good” with additional lyrics for verses and bridge. An easy to sing and powerful worship song, this will surely be a favorite for your congregation.
This is a Move (Brandon Lake)
What do you get when Gospel artist, Tasha Cobbs, and Contemporary Christian artist, Brandon Lake, get together to write a song? This incredible power-ballad! This arrange (We The Kingdom)ment is loosely based on the Brandon Lake live recording along with elements of the Gospel feel of the Tasha Cobbs recording.
Hope Has a Name (River Valley Worship)
This simple, melodic worship song takes the form of many traditional hymns with verses and choruses, making it a perfect crossover song for blended worship services and congregations.
God So Loved (We The Kingdom)
‘God So Loved’ is a great uptempo, toe-tapping praise song from the group “We The Kingdom” (known for their hit “Holy Water”). This version is based on their live/acoustic arrangement leaving lots of room for vocal harmonies.
House of the Lord (Phil Wickham)
Known for his hits “Battle Belongs” and “This is Amazing Grace,” worship leader and Christian songwriter, Phil Wickham releases this upbeat praise song with lots of room for adlibs and joyful expression.

Despite having a worship band and being a talented multi-instrumentalist himself, Florida-based worship leader Shawn Thomas has been using MultiTracks in the services he leads for the last five years.
When talking to musicians in other churches Shawn realised that there was a lot of confusion and misinformation about MultiTracks. He created this video which does a great job in explaining how MultiTracks work and how he uses them in his church. And this was NOT a paid endorsement!
He blows the myth that they are only for high-tech people, and also that they are something that only big churches use.
He explains that MultiTracks are a far cry from the ‘canned’ music you might think them to be and goes into detail about how you can easily use them to keep a truly live feel to your worship – keeping a song going by repeating a chorus or play a section with instruments only while you lead a time of prayer.
Shawn also talks about why he chooses to use Worship Backing Band rather than the other MultiTrack providers. And no, we have not paid him to create this video!
We have five brand new tracks available now from Worship Backing Band including the much requested CityAlight’s Yet Not I But Through Christ in Me. If this sells well we will include more CityAlight songs in our catalogue.
These are in both MultiTrack and Split Track format
Faithful Now (Vertical Worship)
Originally sung and performed by Vertical Worship who also recorded the popular Yes I Will – this powerful worship song affirms God’s faithfulness in all things.
Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me (CityAlight)
We’ve received many requests for CityAlight music, so we’re excited to add “Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me” to the Worship Backing Band library. This easy-to-sing melody is accompanied by four verses of inspirational lyrics.
Great Things (Phil Wickham)
“Great Things” is another great Phil Wickham hit with easy to sing lyrics and melody combined with a positive and encouraging message. This arrangement follows the original recording closely, but is transposed to a more congregationally friendly key.
The Goodness of God (Bethel)
Famous for his work with Chris Tomlin, this Ed Cash (and others) original is a powerhouse worship ballad sure to encourage congregational worship and singing.
We Praise You (Bethel)
“We Praise You” is an uptempo praise song written by well-known worship leaders Matt Redman, Brandon Lake, Brian Johnson, and Phil Wickham. With those writers, you can’t go wrong! Your church will enjoy this catchy and easy to sing selection.
