The Sound Of a Life Changing
Matthew West
I heard it all from the cheap seats
Assembly Hall Arena, Champaign, Illinois
Just a poor college boy making noise
Writing my first songs
Steven Curtis up on stage, singing speechless
Left me speechless and amazed
Tears rolling down my face
I heard a still small voice say: That’s gonna be you someday
Telling the world about amazing grace
Telling the world about a God who saves
Something inside me came alive that day
I’ve never been the same
Can you hear the sound of a life changing
The sound of a dream that’s waking up inside
Can you hear the song
The song of a new beginning
Amazing grace how sweet the sound of a life changing
The sound of a life changing
Now the stage is under my feet
And you’re in the crowd looking at me
Singing: Child of the one true King
And when I hear you sing
I can’t help but think
Could this be your defining moment
The moment you decide to cross that line
And leave the past behind, yeah I’m no Billy Graham
But I come as I am, and you know, that you can too
I’m telling the world about amazing grace
Telling the world about a God who saves
Does anybody wanna feel alive today
I promise you we’ll never be the same
It’s the sound of a tear drop touching the floor
It’s an I don’t wanna live this way anymore
The sound of a first-time whispered prayer
It’s a Jesus I just need You here
The sound of a nail through the hands of grace
The sound of a stone being rolled away
The sound ringing out from an empty grave
Hallelujah, hallelujah
