I saw the light - I saw the light - Oh I saw the light - He lived in a crowded |
|
Jamaican infirmary - Many were brought there to die - Days of starvation |
|
complete deprivation - And illness had taken his sight - But a doctor came to |
|
the village there - And treated him with the finest care - |
|
Said that time would tell - The doctor went to bed that night - And when he awoke |
|
in the morning light - The man could not be found - He was singing from a hill |
|
Oh I can see - I saw the light - I saw the light - Oh I saw the light - |
|
And he sang Amazing Grace to show - A loving God for all to know - |
|
With love and faith and grace - Oh I can see - |
|
We met and my eyes could not hide how I felt - When I looked at him tattered and torn - |
|
But he captured me with a smile that seems so out of place - From the pain |
|
he'd endured - And he told me of a sacrifice - That had given him eternal life - |
|
He was not alone - He spoke about a greater plan - And I began to understand - |
|
My life was not my own - And I am here to say - |
|
And I sang Amazing Grace to show - A loving God for all to know - |
|
With love and faith and grace - Oh I can see - Amazing Grace how |
|
sweet the sound - That saved a wretch like me oh - I once was lost |
|
but now am found - Was blind but now I see - |
