Lyrics
There was a time when I was broken
Didn't know which way to turn
I was paralysed, wondering why
Hanging on to hope by a thread
My faith was failing me
But I heard a voice deep down inside
Saying, "In spite of the mess that you made
Don't you know I suffered, so you wouldn't have to?"
That's when I dropped to my knees and I prayed
Oh, Lord, amazing grace (amazing grace) (amazing grace)
How sweet (sweet) the sound (how sweet)
That saved (saved) a wretch like me (that saved a wretch like me)
Right then, right there in that moment (love struck)
Love struck my soul to the core (whoa)
And like blood through my veins
He rushed in and saved me
That's why I'm so thankful for
Amazing grace (amazing grace)
How sweet the sound (how sweet, how sweet the sound)
That saved a wretch like me (that saved, that saved a wretch like me)
I once was lost (I once, I once was lost)
But now I'm found (but now, see, now I'm found)
Was blind (I was blind) but now (I was blind) I see (but now I see)
When we've been with him (ooh)
For ten thousand years (ooh)
Bright, shining as the sun
We'll have, no less days (ooh)
To sing God's praise (ooh)
Than when we first begun (ooh, ooh)
Amazing Grace (mm, amazing grace)
How sweet the sound (how very sweet)
Oh, oh, that saved a wretch like me
Oh, don't you know, don't you know
(Oh, I was lost) I once was lost (so lost)
(Oh) but now I'm found (but now I'm found, I'm found)
Was blind (I was blind)
But (so very blind) now I see (but now, now, now, now, now, now I see)
I was lost
I was blind
I was down
I was out
I was sad
I was lost
I was so, filled with doubt
Now I know who he is
And I know he can take me all through
Whatever life brings, my way, ay, ay
He hasn't failed me
He's never failed me yet
I wanna tell ya, if you're a Godly person
He's your saviour, ah, yeah
He helped me
Through all my trials and all my tribulations
He showed me
How to get through
All the bad times in my life
