Lyrics
Amazin’ grace how sweet the sound That saves a wretch just like me I was alone in the dark where no one ever wants to be Born blind, but you set me free You know that I went ramblin’ an’ I went gamblin’, went roamin’ from town to town Ended up worse than I thought I'd ever be Then you reached down an' pulled me from that hole an’ you gave me a better goal Born blind, oh, but you help me see You set me free from the rules an’ the Babylon brook of fools And the wicked preacher right there on tv Cut through bull residue, help me see what’s really true Born blind, but you help me see You help me to understand, it’s all in the master plan To shun the self-righteous and choose sinners, sinner’s to be your friends O Freedom, O Freedom, freedom for me Freedom now on through eternity ‘Cross the wide open road, you will be there to ease my load Born blind, oh Lord, but you jus' help me see Amazin’ grace, oh, how sweet the sound That saves a wretch just like me And no matter how far astray I go Love will find me, yes I know Born blind, oh, but you help me see Born blind, sweet Jesus, but you set me free, yeah
