Amazing Grace was originally written by John Newton, a slave ship captain who converted to Christianity and became a priest. The lyrics talk about repentance and redemption. Chris Tomlin added a new verse to the song, giving it new life in contemporary Christian music.
All these pieces Broken and scattered In mercy gathered Mended and whole Empty handed But not forsaken I've been set free I've been set free
Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost But now I am found Was blind but now I see
Oh I can see You now Oh I can see the love in Your eyes Laying Yourself down Raising up the broken to life
You take our failure You take our weakness You set Your treasure In jars of clay So take this heart, Lord I'll be Your vessel The world to see Your life in me
Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost But now I am found Was blind but now I see
Oh I can see You now Oh I can see the love in Your eyes Laying Yourself down Raising up the broken to life
Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost But now I am found Was blind but now I see
Oh I can see You now Oh I can see the love in Your eyes Laying Yourself down Raising up the broken to life
Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost But now I am found Was blind but now I see Oh I can see You now Oh I can see the love in Your eyes Laying Yourself down Raising up the broken to life
