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 -
