I was sinking deep in sin
Could see no peaceful shore
And my heavy heart
Was pulling me deeper down
There was no way to help myself
I'd tried that all too long
And with my life before my eyes
I heard a sound
I was in Sunday School in second grade
Mrs. Aretha said to me:
'You may feel you've reached the end someday
Look to Jesus, seek His face.'

Turn toward the sky
You'll find the face of mercy
He's loved you all this time
That's why the face of mercy
Sees beyond what you've done wrong
Forgiving till the guilt is gone

I stood up a different man
Repentance felt so good
I found it hard to keep
From singing 'Oh Happy Day'
(He washed my sins away)
I thought of all the ones I know
Who need Him just as bad
And at the chance to share His love
What I would say
I'd say I used to think 'Amazing Grace'
Was just an old gospel song
But when I became a wretch like me
My empty heart became His home
Turn toward the sky
You'll find the face of mercy
He's loved you all this time
That's why the face of mercy
Sees beyond what you've done wrong
Forgiving till the guilt is gone

Turn toward the sky
You'll find the face of mercy
He's loved you all this time
That's why the face of mercy
Sees beyond what you've done wrong
Forgiving till the guilt is gone

Turn toward the sky
Face of mercy
He's loved you all this time
That's why the face of mercy
Sees beyond what you've done wrong
Forgiving till the guilt is gone
