John Newton
Misfit Anthem
[Chorus: Riley Clemmons]
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me, whoa-oa-oa-oa
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see

[Verse 1: Marty]
Uh, I'm watching stars on my roof flying by (By)
Wondering, who am I? (I)
My hoodie on, it's getting cold outside
Let's make a bonfire and sing the songs of grace that light the sky up (uh)
Like sky lanterns we light the night up (Whoo)
I'm wondering how we made it this far, it's just crazy to me (Uh)
The wretch from "Amazing Grace," somehow You still love me (Love me)
You still love me
A work in progress, and I'm far from finished (Uh)
You made a way for me, you gave my life a new beginning
When I thought that it was ending (Yeah, yeah)
This that song I play when there's turbulence shaking on the plane (Uh)
Tell my wife that I'ma be okay (Yeah)
If God is for me, I won't be afraid (Uh)
I go wherever, I don't need a name
My past is gone, I don't see the shame (Yeah)
Love has won, I can't see the pain
They don't know how I could be this way (Yeah, uh)
Looking at my life, I don't even know how we made it this far (Far)
The beautiful actions, you broke down the wall to my place, in my place you were scarred (Scarred)
Yeah, yeah
This the song for a new generation
The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords
His name is Jesus, forever we're singing
[Chorus: Riley Clemmons]
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me, whoa-oa-oa-oa
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see

[Verse 2: Fern]
Yeah
Nightmares of them nights I had to stay awake (Yeah, stay awake)
Felt so out of place (Yeah)
I felt so far from grace
I remember all the tears I put on Momma's face (I do)
I remember Papa say, "Just finish up the race" (Please)
I'm a father now [?] so when I look back (Yeah, when I look back)
All the times that He was there, when I look back (Uh-huh)
"Footprints in the Sand" played out is what it looks like
Laid it all down for a wretch and a crook-like (Tsk)
It's amazing, so amazing all the things I went through (It is)
And the only reason I made it's 'cause of my parents' prayers (Thank you)
'Cause you know that my layers deeper than I would let on (Always)
And I knew that I could make it, had to push and press on (On)
I stand tall like a beacon of light (Uh-huh)
For the kids that's lost, help them come home tonight (Uh-huh)
I shine bright so the world can see, world can see (World can see)
How the Lord shed His blood for me (The Lord shed His blood for me)
[Chorus: Riley Clemmons]
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me, whoa-oa-oa-oa
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see

[Outro: Riley Clemmons]
Oh I can see it now
Raising up the broken to life
