Sweet Amazing Grace
GraceGratitudeForgivenessAssurance
A honky-tonk testimony of a piano man who lived for the bottle and died a little more every night, until morning light broke through the roadhouse door and a voice like thunder found him running. This devotional traces his whole journey — lost, found, paid for, buried, raised, and given a brand new song to play on the very same piano — from the first spelled-out confession to the last.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God."
A song for the road you're on.

Sweet Amazing Grace Dirt Road Gospel Music DirtRoadGospelMusic.com [Verse 1] I was bangin' an old piano in a roadhouse thick with smoke Playin' cheatin' songs for drinkin' folks, half of 'em flat broke Neon in the window, sawdust on the floor Livin' for the bottle, Lord, and dyin' for somethin' more Then the mornin' light came pourin' through that old swingin' door And I heard a voice like thunder I ain't never heard before [Chorus] I was L-O-S-T, runnin' from the light Chasin' my tail at the end of every Saturday night But the Good Lord found me, set this sinner F-R-E-E Now I'm shoutin' 'bout G-R-A-C-E Sweet amazin' G-R-A-C-E [Verse 2] I'd been dealin' with the devil, thought that I was gettin' by Pocket full of nothin' and a heart run bone dry But He paid the debt I couldn't pay, He took the nails and thorn I went down in that river, came up brand new born [Chorus] I was L-O-S-T, runnin' from the light Chasin' my tail at the end of every Saturday night But the Good Lord found me, set this sinner F-R-E-E Now I'm shoutin' 'bout G-R-A-C-E Sweet amazin' G-R-A-C-E [Bridge] I still play that same piano but the song ain't what it was He put a new one in my mouth like the Good Book says He does Went from honky-tonk to hallelujah in one step through that door 'Cause I ain't spellin' T-R-O-U-B-L-E no more [Final Chorus] I was L-O-S-T, runnin' from the light Now I'm walkin' with the King and I'm doin' all right He signed my pardon, hung it on a tree Now I'm shoutin' 'bout G-R-A-C-E Sweet amazin' G-R-A-C-E [Outro] I'm S-A-V-E-D, R-E-D-E-E-M-E-D Talkin' 'bout G-R-A-C-E... G-R-A-C-E!
