Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh, mmm
Mmm (Can I get a witness in the back?)
[Verse 2]
A-amazing, amazing grace
How sweet the, the sound
That, that saved a, a wretch like me
I, I once was, was lost
But, but now I, I'm found
Was, was blind but now, now I, I see
[Verse 3]
Through, through, through, through, through many dangers, toils and snares
I, I've been right in the midst of and have all, already
I've already, Jesus was with me and I've already come
Yes, I have
[Verse 4]
It was, it was, it was, it was, it was
It was grace, oh, grace that lead me safe
That's been with me long and brought me safe thus far, don't you know?
And that same, that same ol' grace, the call the God amazing
Oh, amazing, amazing grace
[Verse 5]
It was, it was, I wonder why that is was, it was, it was
It was amazing, ooh, it was grace alone
Oh, that brought me, me so safe, so safe, so safe, so safe
So safe, so safe, so safe, so safe, thus far
And it won't be nothing but that same grace
I know that it won't, it's gon' leave me at my, right home
Right home, right home, right home, right on home, yeah
[Verse 6]
So safe, so safe, safe with Jesus, so safe
Once was far and grace will lead me home
Oh, grace, oh, oh brought me, ooh
Thus, thus far and grace, oh Lord, will lead me home
