I was so scared of everything you put in front of me
I've been arching every part of me
Just to see
See
Why you need me to be
The boy you need me to be
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saves a wretch like me
I once was lost
And now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
I just wanna see
I'm the type of person who lets fear drive
I'm the type of guy who lets it drive
Cause I'm addicted, I'm needy,
I'm lost without you
I need you
I name you
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saves a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
Amazing grace (amazing grace)
How sweet the sound (how sweet)
That saved a wretch like me (that saved a wretch like me)
I once was lost
But now I'm found (you know I'm found)
Was blind but now I see
Amazing grace (you're amazing)
How sweet the sound (you're amazing)
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost (it feels so bad when you're lost and alone)
But now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
This song is truly and honestly amazing.
Basically what this song is saying is...
I know I've sinned.
I know I do wrong.
I know that I'm not perfect,
But without God, we are NOTHING!
We can't live without him.
Honestly, the first time I heard it,
My friend Nate was singing it...and I thought nothing of it,
Because I wasn't who I am today.
And I wasn't at this point in my relationship with God.
I didn't realize it's actual meaning until I heard it the other day and said woah.
I realized that Jesus died for us [we are the wretches].
I was blind in my faith [I couldn't see God's amazingness].
I didn't know that God was calling to me [I couldn't hear him. I was too focused on what I wanted rather than what he wanted].
This song is more than just singing Amazing Grace a few times plus a few words.
This is the story of our lives!
Without Christ, we fail.
But with him, all thing are possible.
This song is coming out and stating that life is not easy.
Ever.
And that death seems the easy way out.
It's saying that anyone can have anything they want.
But if they do not have the lord, they do not have ANYTHING.
You're life is never complete.
It's never going to go right.
It's never going to be easy until you have god in your life.
