Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers
Amazing Grace
[Verse 1]
Well, amazing grace, how sweet the sound
Which brings my joy back again
Sometimes I've worried so much, felt so lost, but then I always feel found
And I should know by now that grace is somethin' that's always within

[Verse 2]
How sweet is the calm when grace descends
To banish my shame and my fear
And the bitterness that I had is now gone away with your winds
You've cheered me up now with cheer from ear now to ear

[Verse 3]
Right, and amazing grace, how sweet is thy sound
That brought my joy back home to me again
I often sit here worrying, I felt so lost you make me feel so found
I should know by now that grace is forever within

[Verse 4]
I've already tasted of such fearlessness
I've already tasted such freedom from shame
I have tasted the flowin', humble mess
I believe that it's in grace I'm gonna someday remain

[Verse 5]
And amazing grace, how sweet is this sound?
My joy is comin' back again
I have worried and felt so lost
But then I always feel found
I should know that it's in grace I will someday remain
[Outro]
I know that grace is always within
