Testimony Lyrics by Christopher Smith

Amazing Grace (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2016

[JOHN]

[Verse 1]
In a moment of truth, I can see what I am
Like a mist on the bay, that is here and is gone
Or a dream that awakes with the coming of dawn
So am I

I can feel something more
Stirring deep in my soul
A burning for things I've neglected so long
A yearning to sing the rest of the unfinished song
Of my life

[Chorus]
And the man that I was, I cast upon the fury of the sea
Let the wind and the waves wash away the fool I used to be
And I won't be ashamed to stand and proclaim I am free
I am free

[Verse 2]
And I know in my soul
It was not in me to change
But God in his mercy has called me by name
And he lifted me out of the pit of my shame
And ordained, I shall live

[Chorus]
And the man that I was, I cast upon the fury of the sea
Let the wind and the waves wash away the fool I used to be
And I won't be ashamed to stand and proclaim I am free
I am free

And I never can repay what the Lord forgave this day
He came for me, came to set me free
