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 looking 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 rising, heat on my face
Oh love that keeps on shining, don't let the shadow come
You know I gotta feel your healing rays

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

Amazing grace, I feel you coming up slowly now
Like the sun is rising, heat on my face
Oh love that keeps on shining, don't let the shadow come
You know I gotta feel your healing rays
