Amazing Grace

Verse 1:                                                                                                                           I was always trying to raise the bar in my early days                                                   Until I realized, He set the bar so high                                                                        It arches the pearly gates, so I followed His ways                                                Gave Him my praise, and sang Amazing Grace                                                        See?  We tend to praise things that are just a phase                                                Pop stars today, they make it big and fade away                                                    And it’s sad to say only the memory remains                                                            But He’s here to stay as the Ancient of Days                                                            So every single Sunday I’ma sing Amazing Grace                                                How sweet the sound, how sweet the sound indeed                                                Cuz sometimes you can’t help but fall to your knees                                                And then we get back up, and put the mask back on                                            Please, polygraph’s on, stop pretending                                                                        I know every time you hear the hymn your heart’s melting                                        I think its awesome how He gets you musical ways                                                    To remind you that the only way is His, amazing, grace 

Chorus:                                                                                                                Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound                                                                    Grace so amazing that it saved a wretch like me                                                         I once was lost but now I’m found                                                                                  I was so blind, but now because of him I see 

Verse 2:                                                                                                                Ready or not, I’m coming through                                                                            Love Him or not, He loves you                                                                            Believe it or not, the fact remains true                                                                        Either you’ve got, grace, if not then you’re blue                                                           If you feel like a loser, you could have the victory                                                       No song to sing?  You could be singing “Freedom” with me                                        I was such a sad case, it seemed like I was faithless                                                   Then God took His place, and grace hit with a faith lift                                    Amazing ain’t it?  God took a plain kid’s life and rearranged it                                Took the canvas of my life and painted                                                                Pastures and living waters untainted                                                                        He’s loving and gracious, that’s why He gets my praises                                            I try to be diverse, to convert to converts                                                                Pull every string, read all the books, put on concerts                                                   I want to be all things to all men, a Jack of all trades                                            And represent the King of hearts, not the Ace of Bass

Verse 3:                                                                                                                        Let me break it down for a second or minute                                                            How many times have you told yourself I have to quit this                                          But returned to it with quickness, can I witness?                                                    Too many on the run, but their purpose isn’t fitness                                            Let’s get honest, hot promises turn frigid                                                                      If they’re not of the Lord who has risen                                                            Makes me livid to see how some are livin                                                                Only want to get, but forget that it’s best to be givin                                                And where and when they do, they just give in                                                        Bad decision, grace is the only link their missin                                                    They could all be forgiven                                                                                            I’m not sure if you’re catching on to this vision                                                    Boom bap, soul clap, and bring it back to soul fishin                                                    Not just another Christian, trying to stick with Him                                                    But bring another few to the pews on a Sunday                                                        To sing Amazing Grace with me, what a sweet melody
