The Man Who Needed Grace

Once upon a time
There was a man who needed grace
With a trail of bad decisions
Left behind him
He had a heart full of guilty
And a head hung in shame
Feeling like forgiveness
Could never find him
But then a light
Broke through the dark
And the voice he heard said
Who you were
That’s not who you are anymore
It’s not the end
No, this is just where
Second chances begin
Oh, oh now I’m forever changed
And until my days are done
I’ll be telling everyone
About the God who loved
The man who needed grace
Now the man who needed grace
Still knows how to make a mess
There’s never been a day
That found me perfect
But grace just keeps on
Showing me exactly what it is
A gift that goes to those
Who don’t deserve it
And nothing I could ever do
Compares to what’ been done
For me, I’m free and
All because you, my debt is paid
My sins are gone
And my soul can’t stop singing
This victory song
Oh, oh now I’m forever changed
And until my days are done
I’ll be telling everyone
About the God who loved
The man who needed grace
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
I once was lost but now I’m found
I once was blind but now I see
Let all the saints and sinners sing
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
I once was lost but now I’m found
I once was blind but now I see
Let all the saints and sinners sing
Oh, oh, now I’m forever changed
And until my days are done
I’ll be telling everyone
About the God who loved
The man who needed grace
Oh, oh, now I’m forever changed
And until my days are done
I’ll be telling everyone
About the God who loved
The man who needed grace
Oh, until my days are done
I’ll be telling everyone
About the God who loved
The man who needed grace
Oh, until my days are done
I’ll be telling everyone
About the God who loved
The man who needed grace
