Lyrics

On the hill of Cal va ry,

the light of (A)all the (Bm)world,

with the world on His (G)shoul ders.

On The weight of all our shame

on Him who (A)knew no (Bm)sin;

a ho ly sur (G)ren der.

The sky went dark,

the an gels wept,

the Fa ther looked a (A)way.

But The fi nal breath,

He bowed His head,

the Lamb of God was slain.

And by His (D)wounds I am set free,

by His (D)blood I’ve been re deemed.

The great di (Bm7)vide He (A)crossed for me.

Oh, praise the (Asus)God of (A)Cal

va ry.

On the hill of Cal va ry,

in to the (A)Fa ther’s (Bm)hands,

a ho ly sur (G)ren der.

A bor rowed tomb,

His moth er wept,

and there His bod y (A)laid.

But the stone was moved,

He con quered death

and rose of from the grave.

And by His (D)wounds I am set free,

by His (D)blood I’ve been re deemed.

The great di (Bm7)vide He (A)crossed for me.

Oh, praise the (Asus)God of (A)Cal

va ry.

(Bm7)vide He (D)crossed for me.

Oh, praise the (Asus)God of (A)Cal

va ry.

And if I (A)nev er, nev er lose (Bm7)sight of this place,

I will (A)nev er, nev er lose (Bm7)sight of Your grace.

The cross is (A)all,

all I need to (Bm)see.

(G)Oh, praise the (Asus)God of (A)Cal

va ry.

And if I (A)nev er, nev er lose (Bm7)sight of this place,

I will (A)nev er, nev er lose (Bm7)sight of Your grace.

The cross is (A)all,

all I need to (Bm)see.

(G)Oh, praise the (Asus)God of (A)Cal

va ry.

And if I

By Your wounds I am set free,

by Your (D)blood I’ve been re deemed.

The great di (Bm7)vide You (D)crossed for (G)me.

Oh, praise the (Asus)God of Cal

va ry.

Your cross is (A)all,

all I need to (Bm)see.

(G)Oh, praise the (Asus)God of (A)Cal

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?

You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature D, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 74 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
