I Saw the Light

I saw the light - I saw the light - Oh I saw the light - He lived in a crowded Jamaican infirmary - Many were brought there to die - Days of starvation complete deprivation - And illness had taken his sight - But a doctor came to the village there - And treated him with the finest care - Said that time would tell - The doctor went to bed that night - And when he awoke in the morning light - The man could not be found - He was singing from a hill Oh I can see - I saw the light - I saw the light - Oh I saw the light - And he sang Amazing Grace to show - A loving God for all to know - With love and faith and grace - Oh I can see - We met and my eyes could not hide how I felt - When I looked at him tattered and torn - But he captured me with a smile that seems so out of place - From the pain he'd endured - And he told me of a sacrifice - That had given him eternal life - He was not alone - He spoke about a greater plan - And I began to understand - My life was not my own - And I am here to say - And I sang Amazing Grace to show - A loving God for all to know - With love and faith and grace - Oh I can see - Amazing Grace how sweet the sound - That saved a wretch like me oh - I once was lost but now am found - Was blind but now I see -
