I Can Only Imagine — Piano, Choir & Vocals Sheet Music
A sweeping, professionally engraved arrangement for piano, SATB choir and soloists by Paul Lorenz — for worship services, weddings, and sacred occasions
The most powerful moments in live performance are the ones that suspend time — and “I Can Only Imagine,” arranged for piano, choir, and vocal soloists, delivers exactly that stillness when the voices drop to a whisper above a single sustained chord. For worship leaders, wedding musicians, and choral directors, this is the arrangement that makes a congregation hold its breath.
This piano and choir edition by Paul Lorenz occupies the precise space between a bare lead sheet and a full orchestral score: rich enough to fill any sanctuary or ceremony hall, practical enough for a skilled pianist and a church choir to master in a handful of rehearsals. The piano accompaniment is voiced to support without overwhelming — every chord calculated to let the voices bloom. With performance license included, individual SATB parts, and a vocal solo lead sheet, this is the complete edition that working musicians and worship directors have been waiting for.

Programming I Can Only Imagine
This arrangement lives at the emotional peak of a service or ceremony, so give it room — it rewards a slow build and an unhurried final chord where the voices fall to a whisper. The piano is voiced to support rather than compete, letting a soloist carry the verses before the full SATB choir opens out. Placed toward the close of a programme, it lands as a moment of stillness rather than spectacle, and pairs naturally with quieter hymns and reflective sacred repertoire. Explore the related arrangements below to build the rest of the programme.
