I
When I was young they called me names and I would run away
Solitary was the game I preferred to play
But I remember well the day my hope was born again
When Gracie Johnson said to me I want to be your friend
Chorus
Grace came running straight to me and took me by the hand
Grace was always great to me but I could not understand
Every time I ran away Grace would bring me home
II
Down this long and winding way after all these years
I traveled knowing every day a faithful friend is here
Many times I know that I was not where I should be
Even then I looked around and Grace was here with me
Chorus
Grace came running straight to me and took me by the hand
Grace was always great to me but I could not understand
Every time I ran away Grace would bring me home
III
Through many danger toils and snares I have already come
Grace has brought me safe thus far and Grace will bring me home
Chorus
Grace came running straight to me and took me by the hand
Grace was always great to me but I could not understand
Every time I ran away Grace would bring me home
Tag
Amazing grace is still great to me
And grace will bring me home
