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 –
