lyrics

A single voice barely heard
Came from the choir loft
Singing a simple hymn of praise
In a voice both low and soft

It carried not much further
Than the last few rows of pews
A voice that sounded frail with age
And slightly out of tune

I wondered who the woman was
In the choir loft that night
From where I sat the choir screen
Had hid her from my sight

A second voice and then a third
Began to fill the the air
In ones and twos folks left the pews
To climb the choir stairs

Soon their voices filled the church
And soon they spilled outside
The Preacher stopped his preaching then
And joined the rising tide

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
That filled the church that day
A single voice that did resound
To fill that church with Grace

Now skeptics say things can’t be changed
By a single person’s words
And you can protest all you want
But your voices won’t be heard

I have no way of knowing
If they’re right or if they’re wrong
But don’t tell that to the worshipers
Who filled that church with song

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
That filled the church that day
A single voice that did resound
To fill that church with Grace

Dan Sullivan Kalamazoo, Michigan

Some people like gardening, working on cars or woodworking. Others enjoy knitting, collecting stamps or coins. That kind of thing. I like writing songs.
