Lyrics

I saw the light - I saw the light - oh I saw the light - he lived in a crowded
Jamaican infirmary - many were brought there to die - days of starvation
Complete deprivation - and illness had taken his sight - but a doctor came to
The village there - and treated him with the finest care -
Said that time would tell - the doctor went to bed that night - and when he awoke
In the morning light - the man could not be found - he was singing from a hill

Oh I can see - I saw the light - I saw the light - oh I saw the light -
And he sang amazing grace to show - a loving god for all to know -
With love and faith and grace - oh I can see -

We met and my eyes could not hide how I felt - when I looked at him tattered and torn -
But he captured me with a smile that seems so out of place - from the pain
He'd endured - and he told me of a sacrifice - that had given him eternal life -
He was not alone - he spoke about a greater plan - and I began to understand -
My life was not my own - and I am here to say -

And I sang amazing grace to show - a loving god for all to know -
With love and faith and grace - oh I can see - amazing grace how
Sweet the sound - that saved a wretch like me oh - I once was lost
But now am found - was blind but now I see -
