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.

About “The Gospel

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "The Gospel"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature Ab. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "The Gospel" by Ryan Stevenson played in?
The Gospel is arranged in the key of Ab on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "The Gospel"?
The arrangement plays at 76 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "The Gospel" easy to play on piano?
This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
Can I download sheet music for "The Gospel"?
Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.

This arrangement uses 9 chords: Ab, Abmaj7, Absus2, Bb, Bbsus4, C, Cm, Eb, +1 more.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "The Gospel" 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 76 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.
