For painted purple skies
For never telling lies
For giving all you had away
For crying when I cry
Ooh thank you...
For changing autumn leaves
The salty ocean breeze
For coming down from heaven to save a wretch like me
Ooh thank you...
I can't understand why you left your throne
But I know that you came and you saved my soul...
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Ooh, thank you
