Courtney Orlando - Grace lyrics

[Verse 1 - Json] Age 16, young and bad I ain't had no curfew With dudes older than me, couldn't see being in church dude Instead, I'm in the street with a heart like night Like maybe I'm like Jay-Z living the hard knock life Eyes, scarred by light - I'd rather chop and slang Pop and hang, be schooled how to co*k and aim Looking back my eyes had to be blurry like gla** tint In the rush for my demise, thank God that's the past tense Lord, I pray the youth will hear the truth in these words Actually all is vanity outside of you that I serve Yes! Even this music's a heavenly melody From the Father telling me to quote to you what he said to me If I wasn't embedded with the Spirit he fed to me Life love and joy as I know it'd only be dead to me But I was resurrected with Christ, the kingdom's prepared for me If you receive and believe it's a joy you can share with me Come on! [Chorus - J.R.] Amazing Grace I once was blind but now Your grace has let me see Thank God I've been redeemed Amazing Grace I once was lost but now By your grace now I'm found Praise God I've been redeemed [Verse 2 - Json] The Lord doesn't hurt your position, true repentance will get you out of that state Escape the hand of his wrath, receive the plan of his grace Listen, I know it seems like the world has a lot it could offer you And because of it its hard for you to hear that he's calling you Let me talk to you about the void that you feel You try to replace it with things but the joy isn't real I had that, filled myself with the fame and the money And all my quest was still stressed ‘cause my flesh it remained hungry The pain was there, through all the herb I was cheefing It was plain it would be the same until I fervently seeked him Then seeked him, then saw the urgency of me and my sin It's an emergency we believe upon him Look, dawg I'm knowing that the streets is real And them dudes carry heat for real, listen to me for real God, he is realer than that Receive him before he really comes back, 'cause that's what real Come on! [Chorus - J.R.] Amazing Grace I once was blind but now Your grace has let me see Thank God I've been redeemed Amazing Grace I once was lost but now By your grace now I'm found Praise God I've been redeemed [Verse 3 - Json] Lord, my earnest prayer is for my family tree 'Cause it would be (timber!) without you standing with me I pray, somehow that they would get a glimpse or a picture Consistent conviction whenever we'll mention the Scripture Hell is hot, I can't give a drop on the tongue And in the streets, believe you can leave at the co*k of a gun My homies: this world ain't it, please put your eyes to the light 'Cause who's my mother, who's my brother if their lives ain't in Christ? I guess, Matthew 10 and 34 is the key What he came to be, ‘cause there's this war between you and me Fam, I love you but you're on that side of the fence I just wish he'd quicken your heart, 'cause I can try to convince I cry and insist, but without the tears on my cheeks For years I would weep, praying you would hear when he speaks Sincere with my speech, if you opened your ears I could reach I've been sent here to preach through this song here with the beats, so listen [Chorus - J.R.] Amazing Grace I once was blind but now Your grace has let me see Thank God I've been redeemed Amazing Grace I once was lost but now By your grace now I'm found Praise God I've been redeemed
