Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
The sky is grey and the light is far
The sea is a rage within my heart
I turn my sight to the crashing waves
I cry in the night just to be saved
'Cause I need eyes to be my guide
I need a voice that's louder than mine
I need hope and I need You
'Cause I can't do this alone
Grace, I call Your name
Oh, won't Your smile fall over me?
I'm cracked and dry, on hands and knees
Oh, sweet grace, rain down on me
I need You grace
I pray for dawn, a new day to live
I pray for mercy only Jesus gives
Though darkness falls and a million cry
I believe over all, there's a greater light shining for us
'Cause I need eyes to be my guide
I need a voice that's louder than mine
I need hope and I need You
'Cause I can't do this alone
Grace, I call Your name
Oh, won't Your smile fall over me?
I'm cracked and dry on hands and knees
Oh, sweet grace, rain down on me
Come down and save me
'Cause I need eyes to be my guide
I need a voice that's louder than mine
I need hope and I need You
'Cause I can't do this alone
Grace, I call Your name
Won't Your smile fall over me
I'm cracked and dry, on hands and knees
Oh, sweet grace, rain down on me
I need You grace
I call You grace, I need You grace
Amazing grace, I need You grace
