THERE WAS NO HOPE FOR SINNERS
IN THIS WICKED WORLD BELOW
NO LAMB UPON THE ALTAR
COULD WASH US WHITE AS SNOW
THERE WAS NO HUMAN WORTHY
TO LAY ASIDE A CROWN
SO FROM THE HOLY HEIGHTS OF HEAVEN
GOD SENT JESUS DOWN
(CHORUS_
AND NOW THERE IS A SACRIFICE FOR SIN
THERE IS AMAZING GRACE
THERE IS A CHANGE THAT COMES WITHIN
EACH TIME A SINNER PRAYS
THERE IS A CROSS THAT'S BLOOD-STAINED
BUT THE STORY DOES NOT END
FOR THERE IS A TOMB THAT'S EMPTY
AND IT'S THE ONLY ONE THERE IS!
I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND IT
I STILL CAN'T COMPREHEND
THE LOVE THE CROSS DEMANDED
AS IT PAID FOR ALL MY SINS
I DON'T CLAIM TO HAVE THE ANSWERS
TO THE PROBLEMS HERE BELOW
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO GOD AND SINNERS
COULD I TELL YOU WHAT I KNOW?
