Lyrics: What Amazing Grace

Verse 1
Who can fathom the depths of love
Poured on those who deserve His scorn
God has sent His beloved Son
That we might know His unending joy
The light from light in the dark has dawned
The word of life took on flesh and form
Everlasting God in the world He made
From heaven’s throne to a bed of hay
A child is born
What amazing grace

Verse 2
What compassion that overflows
In the hands of the Servant King
Reaching out to the sick and lame
And calling sinners to follow Him
With words that humble the self assured
And lift the eyes of the low and poor
For the joy before Him He set his face
Resolute on the road to save
The only way
What amazing grace

Verse 3
See the hill where the cursed hung
The promised King lifted on a cross
Mocked and beaten for sin undone
And God-forsaken to rescue us
Twisted thorns crown the Lord of life
Atonement pours from His tortured side
Forgiveness flows with His failing breath
Nails and wood he secured our place
In the Father's joy
What amazing grace

Verse 4
He will come on that final day
Raised in victory and robed with power
Sin and death will no longer reign
Christ exalted above all names
The joy of heaven will know no end
As ransomed children are welcomed home
Every fallen tear He will wipe away
With our eyes we will see His face

Tag
The joy of heaven will know no end
As ransomed children are welcomed home
Every fallen tear He will wipe away
With our eyes we will see His face
We’ll know in full
His amazing grace
