lyrics

I was always trying to raise the bar in my early days
Until I realized, He set the bar so high
It arches the pearly gates, so I followed His ways
Gave Him my praise, and sang Amazing Grace
See? We tend to praise things that are just a phase
Pop stars today, they make it big and fade away
And it’s sad to say only the memory remains
But He’s here to stay as the Ancient of Days
So every single Sunday I’ma sing Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound, how sweet the sound indeed
Cuz sometimes you can’t help but fall to your knees
And then we get back up, and put the mask back on
Please, polygraph’s on, stop pretending
I know every time you hear the hymn your heart’s melting
I think it’s awesome how He gets you musical ways
To remind you that the only way is His, amazing, grace

Ready or not, I’m coming through
Love Him or not, He loves you
Believe it or not, the fact remains true
Either you’ve got, grace, if not then you’re blue
If you feel like a loser, you could have the victory
No song to sing? You could be singing “Freedom” with me
I was such a sad case, it seemed like I was faceless
Then God took His place, and grace hit with a faith lift
Amazing ain’t it? God took a plain kid’s life and rearranged it
Took the canvas of my life and painted
Pastures and living waters untainted
He’s loving and gracious, that’s why He gets my praises
I try to be diverse, to convert to converts
Pull every string, read all the books, put on concerts
I want to be all things to all men, a Jack of all trades
And represent the King of hearts, not the Ace of Bass

Let me break it down for a second or minute
How many times have you told yourself I have to quit this
But returned to it with quickness, can I witness?
Too many on the run, but their purpose isn’t fitness
Let’s get honest, hot promises turn frigid
If they’re not of the Lord who has risen
Makes me livid to see how some are livin
Only want to get, but forget that it’s best to be givin
And where and when they do, they just give in
Bad decision, grace is the only link their missin
They could all be forgiven
I’m not sure if you’re catching on to this vision
Boom bap, soul clap, and bring it back to soul fishin
Not just another Christian, trying to stick with Him
But bring another few to the pews on a Sunday
To sing Amazing Grace with me, what a sweet melody
