Jars Of Clay - Amazing Grace lyrics

rate me

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

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

Ya know I gotta feel your healin' rays

I hitched a ride, I was a beggar

I had murder on my hands

I neede water to rinse these stains

But only blood could remove what's spillin'

And pardon me the blame
