Will Herridge - The Wretch & the King (feat. Some Wonderfully Talented Friends of Mine) Lyrics

Amazing Grace how faint the sound
Can it save a wretch like me?
I once was lost, father, I'm still lost
Was blind and I still can't see

I know you're there and you say you want to fix me, but I'm running out of faith

The only altar I knew was a bedroom shrine
The only tongues I could speak were hers and mine intertwined
Am I your bastard son?

How can my friends feel your embrace
When I can't even see your fingerprints?
I long to be where they're at
Your name ever on my lips

They told me I'm stuck in my brokenness
Liars and cheaters never change
So cast your eyes from me
You're a king and I'm a f*cking wretch

The only altar I knew was a bedroom shrine
The only tongues I could speak were hers and mine intertwined
Am I your bastard son?

I don't wanna be broken anymore
(Am i your bastard son?)
I don't wanna be broken anymore
(Am I your bastard son?)
I don't wanna be broken anymore
(Am I your bastard son?)
I don't wanna be broken anymore

I'll pull you out of your head and raise you up
You've grown so thirsty son, I'm here to fill your cup
I'll not let your hands stay idle
And melt your stone heart like the snow
You've been craving a love that only leaves you empty
But mine will never cease to grow
No church will break your chains
But in me you shall be free
It's ok that you feel pain
I gave you your humanity
Remember who you are
A wretch loved by a king
Pick the salt out of your wounds
No longer feel their sting

I'll always save a wretch like you
