i grew this heart into a drifter
never felt the roots i bare
sold my sight, oh, brother, sister
for a mountain of fool's gold, it's gone
only God knows, God knows where
soul was restless for redemption
feet were lookin' for a place to stand
well, i ain't got no life
and you know i ain't got no money
just the faith of an empty hand, empty hand
Chorus:
amazing grace, i feel you comin' up slowly now
like the sun is risin', heat on my face
oh, love that keeps on shinin', don't let the shadow come
you know i gotta feel your healin' rays
hitched a ride; i was a beggar
and i had murder on my hands
needed water to rinse these stains
but only blood could remove what's spillin'
and pardon me to blame
[CHORUS]
amazing grace, i feel you comin' up slowly now
amazing grace, i feel you comin' up slowly now
amazing grace, i feel you comin' up slowly now
like the sun is risin', heat on my face
oh love that keeps on shinin' don't let the shadow come
you know i got to, yeah
[CHORUS]
see, i gotta feel your healin' rays
you know i gotta feel your amazing grace
