CAPO GUITAR
THRIVE WORSHIP | POUR YOUR SPIRIT OUT | Mitch Bohannon
Revival . We ’ re gearing up at our church for a big revival and it ’ s got me thinking about the need for revival in this country . I ’ ve been praying 2 Chronicles 7:14 every day . When you think about it , what more can we seek in revival than to experience the outpouring of God ’ s Spirit ?
My drive to work is right at an hour , so I have plenty of time to listen . This song has been on repeat in my truck many times since it released . Pour Your Spirit Out comes from Thrive Worship who is from Bayside Church in Sacramento , California . We actually held a couple of Christian Musician Summit conferences at Bayside in the early 2000 ’ s . It was really amazing being on that campus and experiencing worship in the main room .
The chord progression of this song , for me , is really moving … it grabs my attention as it moves from the 1 ( G ) to the 5m7 ( Dm7 ). Normally , we are used to hearing minor chords on the 2 , 3 , and 6 chords , not the 5 . So , this change with the 5 chord creates an unexpected turn in the song .
Thrive Worship recorded this song in the key of “ G ,” but for me it ’ s just out of range , so I drop my capos one fret ( 1 / 2 step ) to the key of “ F #.” This is one major benefit of using capos , the ability to change keys by half-steps and keep using the same fingerings . So , if you want to play with the recording , place your capos on frets 3 ( 6-string capo ) and 5 ( cut capo ) and to play with my video , place them at 2 and 4 .
Dynamics for the song can range from diamonds ( strumming whole notes ), which would be strumming each chord change one down-strum , to driving full rhythm in the chorus , to palm-muting in the bridge . Try a few different techniques to create your own feeling for the song . It would be nice to fingerpick the first verse and then slowly create a build throughout the song .
Pour Your Spirit Out is a super simple song to play with only three chords in the same progression throughout . That reminds me of Revelation Song , which is another super powerful worship song . It does not take complicated chords and progressions and changes to create a powerful song . Some of the most powerful songs have a simple , looping chord progression like this .
Beyond the printed chart , the song goes into a second bridge and a 3 rd verse that ’ s written as

Roll back that stone Roll back that stone a personal testimony . Personally , when I lead this song at my church , I only used the first two verses and first bridge . Listen and see how you would use it for your congregation .
