Too many dangers, toil and snares (yes I did)
(Lord you know)
I've already come
(It was Grace that brought me safe thus far)
T'was Grace that brought me safe thus far (oh yes it was)
(when I did not have a God on my side)
T'was Grace that brought me safe thus far (sometimes freed? to talk about it)
T'was Grace that brought me safe thus far (yeah, Lord
and Grace will lead me home
(One more thing I want to say)
(One day I came to Jesus)
(One day I came to Jesus as I walked)
I came to Jesus as I walked (sometimes I cried all night long)
I came to Jesus as I walked
(but I stayed on my knees, I said father I want you to help me)
I came to Jesus as I walked
(because all my friends are gone)
I came to Jesus as I walked (yeah)

(Let me tell you)
(as I stayed on my knees)
I found in him a resting place (yes I did)
I found in him a resting place (I stay here right down on my knee children
I found in him a resting place
(I said Lord if you see me)
I found in him a resting place
(ooh Lord)

(let me tell you one more thing)
(I told him father I stretch my hand to thee)
My Lord I stretch my hand to thee
(I don't know nobody else to go to ya)
My Lord I stretch my hand to thee
(sometimes when I walk the floor all night long)
My Lord I stretch my hand to thee
(oooh)

(But I told him these words)
(I said Lord if I was yours)

(one more thing I'm gonna tell you)
Amazing grace how sweet it sounds
(it sounds so good to me)
Amazing grace how sweet it sounds
(when I sing this song I cry sometimes)
Amazing grace how sweet it sounds
(yes sir, and I used to hear my momma say these same words)
Amazing grace how sweet it sounds
(she said ooh, Lord)
save a wretch like me
(but what I like to hear you say, and she said)
(Lord I once was lost but now I'm found)
I once was lost but now I'm found
(yes I was)

and she said Lord have mercy)
I once was lost but now I'm found
