If I wake up dead tomorrow
Will you lay me in my grave?
Will you put off that sweet sorrow?
Will you sing Amazing Grace?
How sweet the sound would soothe me
All buttoned up in wood and crepe
Hallelujah how you knew me
Let the flowers touch your face
If I wake up dead tomorrow
Don’t be tempted by my fate
Don’t you go and try to follow
Just you go, don’t hesitate
Got a deal with old St. Peter
Get me through that Heaven’s Gate
Might just go on past it
Find another path to take
Folks don’t talk too much about it
But we’ve all been by the side
The hole that’s dug in deep there
Thrown the dirt that arcs inside
Hear the thud of these sweet offerings
See the faces, some in tears
Know the truth of this whole journey
Nobody knows that ain’t been here
If I wake up dead tomorrow
Will you lay me in my grave?
Will you put off that sweet sorrow?
Will you sing Amazing Grace?
solo on amazing grace
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see
I once was lost but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see
