Gravel & Grace - Amazing Grace Lyrics

Verse 1

Amazing grace
The peace I've found

Verse 2

I have not always walked your way
I lost my words, I learned to stray
Some nights my prayers were thin and tired
Still mercy stayed, still love inspired
I wore a smile, I hid my doubt
Yet grace came in and found me out
Not far above, not hard to see
Your kindness sat right next to me

Chorus

Amazing grace
The peace I've found
Upon this holy quiet ground
Not only when my faith was bright
But through the dust, the ache, the night
You did not wait for spotless hands
You met me where my weakness stands
You touched the fear I could not name
And taught my heart to hope again
Amazing grace, my quiet plea
Still patient, still holding me
I'm still becoming slow and true
The one already loved by you

Verse 3

I've seen the faithful lose their way
Then bow their heads and try to pray
I've watched the tired hide their pain
It blessed the morning once again
I've heard your name in rooms of grief
On trembling lips that still believe
In fathers driving through the rain
And mothers whispering through the pain
And now I know what grace can do
It bends down low and carries through
Not just a light too high to reach
But love that kneels where hearts can't speak

Chorus

Amazing grace
The peace I've found
Upon this holy quiet ground
Not only when my faith was bright
But through the dust, the ache, the night
You did not wait for spotless hands
You met me where my weakness stands
You touched the fear I could not name
And taught my heart to hope again
Amazing grace, my quiet plea
Still patient, still holding me
I'm still becoming slow and true
The one already loved by you

Bridge

There were prayers I left unsaid
And quiet tears beside my bed
There were mornings cold and grey
Yet you stayed near me anyway
Not every wound is answered clear
Not every road has drawn you near
But grace has taught my soul to stay
And find your peace along the way
So take the years I tried to hide
The broken places locked inside
And let this life, though worn and flawed
Become a hymn of thanks to God

Outro

If I grow weak, then hold me there
If I get lost, become my prayer
If I forget that I am loved
Speak louder than my fears above
Let every breath you give remain
A small return of grateful praise
And when my voice begins to cease
Let silence sing your perfect peace
Amazing grace
The peace I've found
Upon this holy quiet ground
Not only when my faith was bright
But through the dust, the ache, the night
You did not wait for spotless hands
You met me where my weakness stands
You touched the fear I could not name
And taught my heart to hope again
Amazing grace, my quiet plea
Still patient, still holding me
I'm still becoming slow and true
The one already loved by you
Amazing grace
Still patient with my soul
Amazing grace
A mercy I could never earn
The love I'll never lose
