I Saw The Light

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 -
