Lyrics

When I first (F)spoke Your name,

I used it like a blade,

cut ting sharp a mask to (C)hide the pain,

when I first (F)spoke Your name.

When I next (F)spoke Your name,

I could no long er bear the weight

I of years hid ing be (C)hind the ache

When I next (F)spoke Your name.

But when You (Bb)spoke my name,

oh, I swear the an gels sang.

Peace came and (C)stole my shame

when You (Bb)spoke my (F)name.

Now when I (F)speak Your name,

I sing it like a sweet re frain.

I have found a peace I (C)can’t ex plain

When when I (F)speak Your name.

’Cause when You (Bb)spoke my name,

oh, I swear the an gels sang.

Peace came and (C)stole my shame

when You (Bb)spoke my (F)name.

Now when I (Dm)spoke my name.

can hard ly (G)speak,

know ing You know (Bb)me.

Thank God, I’m (F)free.

(C)Now my (Dm)world has com plete ly come un (G)done, for I can hear the (Bbsus2)Son

call ing out to (Gm)me.

’Cause when You (C)spoke my name,

oh, I swear the an gels sang.

Peace came and (D)stole my shame

when You (C)spoke my name,

oh, I swear the an gels sang.

Peace came and (D)stole my shame

when You

when You spoke my name.

About “When You Spoke My Name”

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "When You Spoke My Name" 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 F, 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 80 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.
