Looks like you’re on your own from here,

’cause grace could nev er reach that far.

But (Ab)in the shad ow of that (Eb)shame, beat down by all the (Cm)blame, I hear You call my (Bb)name, say ing, “It’s not o ver.” And (Ab)my heart starts to beat so (Eb)loud now, drown ing out the (Cm)doubt.

I’m down, but I’m not (Bb)out.

There’s a (Eb)war be tween guilt and grace, and they’re (Ab)fight ing for a sa cred space.

But I’m (Bb)liv ing proof:

grace wins (Ab)ev ’ry time.

Now I’m (Ab)ris ing up in vic to ry, sing ing: (Bb)Hal le lu jah!

About “Grace Wins

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Grace Wins" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature Ab, 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 114 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.
