"Amazing Grace (One Love Version)"
(Reggae / roots / laid-back but reverent)
(Verse 1)
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a soul like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see.
(Chorus)
Amazing grace, it carry me home
One love, one heart, Jah guide my road
From night to day, from lost to found
Amazing grace keep pullin’ me around.
(Verse 2)
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
(Chorus)
Amazing grace, it carry me home
One love, one heart, Jah guide my road
From night to day, from lost to found
Amazing grace keep pullin’ me around.
(Verse 3)
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I’ve already come
’Tis grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home.
(Chorus)
Amazing grace, it carry me home
One love, one heart, Jah guide my road
From night to day, from lost to found
Amazing grace keep pullin’ me around.
(Bridge / Toast (optional spoken or sung)
Grace in the morning, grace at night
When Babylon try steal my sight
Still I stand, still I pray
Grace walk with me every day
(drop the riddim here, let the bass breathe)
(Verse 4)
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
(Chorus)
Amazing grace, it carry me home
One love, one heart, Jah guide my road
From night to day, from lost to found
Amazing grace keep pullin’ me around.
(Verse 5)
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail
And mortal life shall cease
I shall possess within the veil
A life of joy and peace.
(Final Chorus (big, warm, repeat & fade)
Amazing grace, it carry me home
One love, one heart, Jah guide my road
From night to day, from lost to found
Amazing grace keep pullin’ me around
Amazing grace… sweet amazing grace…
(Outro (soft harmonies / Nyabinghi feel)
When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing His praise
Than when we first begun
