i drug his name through godless places and i ve known shame that no child of his should know i ve seen pain on broken faces beyond all thought of hope i was just too far from home still i always wondered when i closed my eyes after all i ve done could he run to me would he kiss my face could he even look at me after where i ve been should he take me back i would understand i ve disgraced him but it would be amazing if he still calls me son with nothing left for me to bring him i left my pride and turned my heart toward home i saw my home on the horizon and from a distance i saw my father watching for his own with forgiving eyes after all i d done he just ran to me then he kissed my face he would not let go of me after where i d been he just welcomed me i didn t understand but he put his robe on me it was so amazing that he still called me son one day as i breathe my last and i know my days on earth have ended when every hour is spent i will close my eyes in amazement and i ll hear angels they ll be singing amazing grace cause he will run to me and he will kiss my face he will not let go of me after where i ve been he will welcome me i won t understand how he ll put his robe on me it will be amazing that he ll still call me son amazing grace how sweet the sound when he calls me son i once was lost but now i m found cause he calls me son
