Lyrics

I really didn’t know how it would feel
Coming into what was unfamiliar space.
It took awhile, but then it was worth it, finally, when
I beheld my brand new baby’s face.
The miracle still holds me in its sway.
They grow more wise and beautiful each day.
I hold them to my heart those times that we’re apart
‘Til I can gaze again at each sweet face.

I really didn’t know how it would feel
Comin’ back again to this familiar place.
It’s been awhile, my friend, I’d begun to wonder when
I’d be gazin’ into your sweet face.
You’ve certainly had your trials and you’re woes.
They’ve probably etched those lines upon your face.
As the years have rolled along, you’re still so clear and strong,
You’re the picture of Amazing Grace.

I’ve worked hard all these years, conquered many fears
That a peaceful, loving heart be a familiar place.
I journeyed far from home, my destiny to roam
‘Til I’d be gazing into your sweet face.
We’ve certainly had our trials and our woes.
They’ve made us stronger folks, I would suppose.
And though these bodies die, we’ll be together by and by
That’s the promise of Amazing Grace.

I’ve often felt her near, just beyond my sight
I see her smile, and hear her trying to comfort me.
Though death be bittersweet, my joy will be complete
‘Cause I’ll be gazing into Grandma’s face.
The ones who’ve traveled over and returned
Been sharing the amazing things they learned.
Can’t prove it right or wrong, but my hunch is awful strong
That it’s the promise of Amazing Grace.

...Can’t prove it right or wrong, but my hunch is awful strong
That it’s the promise of Amazing Grace.
