Lyrics

A (Eb)rest less gen er a tion, we’re (Fm)turn ing o ver ev ’ry stone,

(Ab)hop ing to find sal va tion in a (Cm)world that’s left us cold.

Can we (Eb)get back to the al tar, back to the (Fm)arms of our first love?

There’s on ly (Ab)one way to the Fa ther, and He’s (Cm)call ing out to us.

To the cap tive it looks like free dom, to the or phan it feels like (Eb)home.

To the skep tic it might sound cra zy to be lieve in a God who (Eb)loves.

In a world where our hearts are break ing, and we’re lost in the mess we’ve (Eb)made, like a blind ing light in the dead of night, it’s the Gos pel, the Gos pel that makes a way.

It’s the Gos pel that makes a way.

It’s the (Eb)cure for our con di tion, it’s the (Fm)Good News for us all.

It’s (Ab)great er than re lig ion, it’s the (Cm)pow er of the cross.

So, can we (Eb)get back to the al tar, back to the (Fm)arms of our first love?

There’s on ly (Ab)one way to the Fa ther, and He’s (Cm)call ing out to us.

To the cap It’s the Gos pel that makes a way.

It’s the Gos pel that makes a way.

The amazing news of the Gospel is not that we can receive Jesus into our lives,

In my own life it means for give ness when I know I de serve the (Eb)fall.

It (Abmaj7)called me out of my dark ness and car ried me to the (Eb)cross.

In a mo ment my eyes were o pened, in that mo ment my heart was (Eb)changed.

Like a blind ing light in the dead of night, it’s the Gos pel.

Oh, to the cap tive it looks like free dom, to the or phan it feels like (Eb)home.

Yeah, to the skep tic it might sound cra zy to be lieve in a God who (Eb)loves.

In a world where our hearts are break ing, and we’re lost in the mess we’ve (Eb)made, like a blind ing light in the dead of night, it’s the Gos pel, the Gos pel that makes a way.

It’s the Gos pel that makes a way.

It’s the Gos pel that makes a way.

Oh, (Fm)oh, it’s the Gos pel that makes a way.

It’s the Gos pel, the Gos pel that (Bbsus)makes a way.

Is there a karaoke version of "The Gospel" with lyrics?
Yes — this is a free karaoke slide for "The Gospel" by Ryan Stevenson. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "The Gospel" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in Eb, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "The Gospel" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
