Album: The Gift
Well, I waited 'til the hymn began
And then I slipped inside
I sat down on the back row
Where I thought that I might hide
I'd heard "Amazing Grace"
Since I was just a boy
But this time it sounded different
Than it ever had before
And then I saw him standing
By the altar down the aisle
Well, he wasn't tall or handsome
But he had a tender smile
He welcomed ever sinner
To come down and be saved
I never will forget that moment
'Til my dying days
My heart started pounding
My feet wanted to leave
But his gentle invitation
Brought me down to my knees
Oh, I wonder how many souls were saved
And how many wandering pilgrims
He's helped to find their way
You could almost see the heavens open
When he kneels to pray
Well, I wonder how many souls were saved
Before he was a preacher
I heard that he was mean
That he talked just like a sailor
Who had sailed the seven seas
They said he liked his parties
His women and his wine
Out of all the unbelievers
He was the hardest kind
But that was twenty years ago
Now no one can believe
That God would have a man like that
Bringing in the sheaves
Oh, I wonder how many souls were saved
And how many wandering pilgrims
He's helped to find their way
You could almost see the heavens open
When he kneels to pray
Well, I wonder how many souls were saved
He'll be the first to tell you
That he doesn't have the power
To save any sinner that is lost
But, brother, let me tell you
He can point you to the Man
Who shed His Blood for all
Upon the cross
Oh, I wonder how many souls were saved
And how many wandering pilgrims
He's helped to find their way
You could almost see the heavens open
When he kneels to pray
Well, I wonder how many souls were saved
