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
