It celebrates the transformative power of God's grace, which saves, redeems, and restores broken lives. The lyrics speak of being lost and found, blind and seeing, and being raised from brokenness to life. The song emphasizes God's love and mercy, portraying Him as one who gathers scattered pieces and mends them whole.

All these pieces

Broken and scattered

In mercy gathered

Mended and whole

Empty-handed

But not forsaken

I've been set free

I've been set free


Amazing grace

How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me, oh

I once was lost

But now I'm found

Was blind but now I see


Oh, I can see it now

Oh, I can see the love in Your eyes

Laying yourself down

Raising up the broken to life


You take our failure

You take our weakness

You set Your treasure

In jars of clay

So take this heart, Lord

I'll be Your vessel

The world to see

Your life in me, oh


Amazing grace

How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me, oh

I once was lost

But now I'm found

Was blind but now I see


Oh, I can see it now

Oh, I can see the love in Your eyes

Laying yourself down

Raising up the broken to life


Amazing grace

How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me, oh

I once was lost

But now I am found

Was blind but now I see


Amazing grace

How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me, oh

I once was lost

But now I am found

Was blind but now I see


Oh, I can see it now

Oh, I can see the love in Your eyes

Laying yourself down

Raising up the broken to life


Amazing grace

How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me, oh

I once was lost

But now I am found

Was blind but now I see


Amazing grace

How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me, oh

I once was lost

But now I'm found

Was blind but now I see


Oh, I can see it now

Oh, I can see the love in Your eyes

Laying yourself down

Raising up the broken to life


Oh, I can see it now

Oh, I can see the love in Your eyes

Laying yourself down

Raising up the broken to life


Oh, I can see it now

Oh, I can see the love in Your eyes

Laying yourself down

Raising up the broken to life
