Amazing Grace Songtext

von Jars of Clay

I grew this heart into a drifter
I never felt the roots I bare
I sold my sight, oh brother, sister
For a mountain of fool's gold, it's gone
Only God knows, God knows where

My soul was restless for redemption
My 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, an empty hand

Amazing Grace, I feel you coming up slowly now
Like the sun is risin', heat on my face
Oh, love that keeps on shinin', don't let the shadow come
Know I gotta feel your healin' rays

I hitched a ride, I was a beggar, I had murder on my hands
I needed water to rinse these stains
But only blood could remove what's spillin'
And pardon me the blame, oh blame

Amazing Grace, I feel you coming up slowly now
Like the sun is risin', heat on my face
Oh, love that keeps on shinin', don't let the shadow come
Know I gotta feel your healin' rays

Amazing Grace, I feel you coming up slowly now
Amazing Grace, I feel you coming up slowly now
Amazing Grace, I feel you coming up slowly now
Like the sun is risin', heat on my face
Oh, love that keeps on shinin', don't let the shadow come
Know I gotta feel your healin' rays

Amazing Grace, I feel you coming up slowly now
Like the sun is risin', heat on my face
Oh love that keeps on shinin', don't let the shadow come
Know I've gotta feel your healin' rays
Said, "I've gotta feel your healin' rays"
You know I've gotta feel your healin' rays
