Can you sing Reckless Love by Cory Asbury?

The Cory Asbury worship anthem is one of the friendliest builds in the modern church catalog. The researched range runs C#3 to G#4, a 19 semitone span, with verses that sit low and prayerful and a chorus that rises steadily rather than leaping. The deciding moment is the final chorus after the bridge, where the melody parks on the upper notes and asks for sustained conviction at 111 bpm rather than raw power.

Tenors fit the whole song inside their band, and the page's key math agrees with a shift of zero: sing it in the stored F# major exactly as written. Baritones face three semitones over their ceiling on those sustained tops; the math offers them a four semitone drop to D major, which turns the final chorus from a strain into a statement. Altos have the opposite problem, comfortable up top but four semitones below their floor on the C#3 verse notes, so the suggested five semitone lift to B major restores the bottom without threatening their ceiling.

The real skill here is breath pacing across long, repeated phrases. Practice cue: sing one full chorus on a single sustained z buzz, mapping where you actually run out of air, then place your breaths two notes before each of those spots and keep them there every time.
