Evermore (by Hillsong) Bass Tab

I guess I will put up my tabs in the order that they are asked of me. So the next one will be of the bass line that I made up for the song "Evermore" by Hillsong. This is a really great song that I enjoy playing bass along to. Their bass part is plain and simple and many people say that it should be that way with 'church' music. I disagree and don't believe that any musical distinction needs to be made because it is in fact 'church' music. My opinion is that one should play as best as possible and as tastefully as possible. Ultimately you will never be able to please everyone so just be unique and do your thing. And play well, whether you're playing steady 8th notes on the same fret for one or two measures or you're creating a lot of tonal movement and going all over the place. Keep it musical and rhythmic.

Here is the video of me playing along with the song:



And I apologize because this is from my first batch of videos that I made for YouTube so I only included the fretting hand. If you look at my later videos you will see both hands included.

Now here is the tab of what I played in this video:
