I was down on my luck, I was stuck I was running ’round broken-hearted I was sinking so fast I couldn’t last falling apart
And You could’ve ran away Leaving me there in my shame Leaving me fighting my pain But You made a better way Oh, oh, oh

(Washed by the water, I’m washed by the water Washed by the water, I’m washed by the water) Amazing grace, my soul set free Ain’t no grave, got a hold on me I’m born again, born again Washed by the water, I’m clean
