I  drug his name through godless places
 And I’ve known shame  that no child  of his should know
I’ve  seen pain on broken faces
 Beyond all thought  of hope  I was just  too far from home
Still  I always wondered  when I closed  my eyes
 After all  I’ve done Could he run  to me?
 Would he kiss  my face? Could he even  look at me?
 After where  I’ve been should he take  me back?
 I would understand  I’ve disgraced  him
 But it  would be amazing  If he still calls  me son
With  nothing left for me to bring  him
 I left my pride  and  turned my heart  toward home
I  saw my home on the horizon
 And from a distance  I saw my Father
Watching  for his own  with forgiving  eyes
One  day as I breathe my last  And I know my days on earth have ended
 When every hour  is spent
I  will close my eyes in amazement  And I’ll hear angels
 They’ll be singing  Amazing Grace
 Cause he will run  to me
 And he will kiss  my face He will not  let go of me
 After where  I’ve been He will welcome  me
 I won’t understand  How he’ll put  his robe on me
It  will be amazing  That he’ll still call  me son
Amazing grace  how sweet the sound  When he calls  me son
 I once  was lost but now I’m found Cause he calls  me, he calls me Son
 It’s so amazing  He calls me Son.
