Create piano accompaniment from chords
How do I create a piano accompaniment for a song I only have chords for?
[Intro]
A D A D A E
[Verse 1]
D A D A
Come follow Me, I heard Him say
D A D A
Come follow Me, I'll show you the way

Leave all behind, I'll grant you trea-sure on high
A E A D A
Come follow Me, leave all behind
[Chorus]

Come to the cross, where sinners are saved

Here at the cross, come to the cross
[Verse 2]

Come and behold, see where he lay

He is alive; there's victor-y in Jesus Christ

Come and behold, He is alive.
[Bridge]

With the Spir-it's power dwelling now within

We will take our cross, we will follow Him

And tell the world of His cleansing blood
F#m E A
And that through the cross we have overcome

With the Spirit's power dwelling now within

We will take our cross, we will follow Him

And tell the world of His cleansing blood
F#m E A E
And that through the cross we have over-come
[Chorus 2]
D A D A
Come to the cross, come and be saved
D A D A
Come to the cross, where sin's washed away

Fall on your knees before the Lord God Most High
A E A D A
Fall on your knees, give up your life

Way outside the scope of this forum. There are probably people here who can help you. However, it's fairly complex topic (this would be a semester or two at a music school) so you are unlikely to get anything beyond a very simple explanation.
Do a Google search for "piano accompaniment". For a jazz style, I recommend several of Aimee Nolte's videos (https://www.youtube.com/user/NolteFam/videos) on YouTube. (You'll have to dig through them: she has LOTS of vids on LOTS of topics.)
