    Verse 1
    Well 
    Jesus 
    was 

    an only 
    son 

    As he 
    walked 
    up 
    Calvary 
    Hill 

    His 
    mother Mary 
    walking 
    beside 
    him 

    In the 
    path 
    where 
    his 
    blood 
    spilled 

    Jesus 
    was 
    an only 
    son 

    In the 
    hills 
    of Nazareth 

    As he lay 
    reading 
    the Psalms 
    of 
    Dav
    id 

    At 
    his 
    mother's 
    feet 

    Verse 2
    A 
    mother 
    prays, 
    "Sleep 
    tight, 

    my 
    child, 
    sleep 
    well 

    For I'll 
    be 
    at 
    your 
    side 

    That 
    no shadow, 
    no 
    darkness, 

    no 
    tolling 
    bell, 

    Shall 
    pierce 
    your 
    dreams 
    this 

    night." 

    Verse 3

    In the 
    garden 
    at 
    Gethse
    mane 

    He 
    prayed 
    for the 
    life 
    he'd 
    never 
    live, 

    He 
    be
    seeched 
    his 
    Heavenly 

    Father 
    to re
    move 

    The cup 
    of 
    death 
    from 
    his 
    lips 

    Verse 4
    Now 
    there's a 
    loss 
    that 

    can never 
    be 
    replaced, 

    A 
    destination 
    that 
    can 

    never 
    be 
    reached, 

    A light 
    you'll 
    never 
    find 
    in 
    another
    's 
    face, 

    A 
    sea 
    whose 
    distance 
    cannot 

    be 
    breached 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 5
    Well 
    Jesus 
    kissed 
    his 
    mother
    's hands 

    Whispered, 
    "Mother, 
    still 
    your 
    tears, 

    For re
    member 
    the soul 

    of the 
    uni
    verse 

    Willed 
    a world 
    and 
    it appeared."

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      “I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.”

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      “I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      “I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      “Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      “This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      “It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      “I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
