Please forgive me, if some of the chords/notes are wrong below, it's been a long time since I play this for a choir.

There are a 2 ways, the bass line to the beginning part is played in this song, here are the chords I might have used.
Here is 1 way with chords.

or
Filler Chords

Passing back to beginning of 2nd part of song - G/BbDbEbG
Transition to 3rd part of song
Ab/GbBEb
Bb/FBbDb
B/EbAbB
Db/BbEbAb (Db/BEbFAb)
I don't remember if this is correct...but thinking about it now, I would probably play it this way.
C/EbGBbEb (C/BbEG)
Db/DbGBbDb (D/CDFAb)
E/EAbBb (E/DbEGBb)
F/EbGAbBbC (FEb/EbGAbC)
F/AbCEbF
G/BbEbG
Ab/CEbAb
Bb/DbFAb
over and over' till gospel bounce (part 4)
EbEb/DbFAbDb
EbEb/DbFAbDb
EbEb/DbFAbDb
EbEb/DbFAbDb
over and over' till gospel run (part 4)
I may have to try to put together a video lesson for this part.
Gospel run:
You can use in Bass
(LH) Ab, Bb, B, C, Db,
(LH) F, Gb, G, Ab,
(RH) GbBEb
(RH) GbBEb
(RH) FBbDb
(RH) EbAbB
(RH) Ab,Ab,Bb, EbAbBb
This is the entire song; transition back to beginning to reach end of song is off of "Eb/DbEbFAb" coming out of gospel bounce or another chord I like to use is EbBbDb/GBDbGb
I hope this helps; I will try to release some videos shortly.
