Songtexte I Saw the Light - Mark Schultz

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)
I can see (I saw the light, I saw the light, oh I saw the light)
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 (I saw the light, I saw the light, oh I saw the light)
I can see (I saw the light, I saw the light, oh I saw the light)
I can see (I saw the light, I saw the light, oh I saw the light)

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 seemed 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

That I can see (I saw the light, I saw the light, oh I saw the light)
I can see (I saw the light, I saw the light, oh I saw the light)
I can see (I saw the light, I saw the light, oh I saw the light)
And I sing amazing grace to show
A loving God for all to know
With love and faith and grace
Oh I can see (I saw the light, I saw the light, oh I saw the light)
I can see (I saw the light, I saw the light, oh I saw the light)
I can see (I saw the light, I saw the light, oh I saw the light)

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
