Blinded by Your Grace, written by Christian rapper, writer and activist, Stormzy.
“I’m blinded by your grace
I’m blinded by your grace, by your grace
I’m blinded by your grace
I’m blinded by your
Lord, I’ve been broken
Although I’m not worthy
You fixed me, I’m blinded
By your grace
You came and saved me
Lord, I’ve been broken
Although I’m not worthy
You fixed me, now I’m blinded
By your grace
You came and saved me
One time for the Lord
And one time for the cause
And one round of applause
One time for Fraser T Smith on the chords (woo!)
I feel we got one
I stay prayed up, then I get the job done
Yeah, I’m Abigail’s yout, but I’m God’s son
But I’m up now, look at what God’s done
Now I real talk, look at what God did
On the main stage runnin’ ‘round topless
I phone Flipz, then I tell him that we got this
This is God’s plan, they can never stop this
Like, wait right there, could you stop my verse?
You saved this kid and I’m not your first
It’s not by blood and it’s not by birth
But, oh my God, what a God I serve
Lord, I’ve been broken
Although I’m not worthy
You fixed me, I’m blinded
By your grace
You came and saved me
Lord, I’ve been broken
Although I’m not worthy
You fixed me, now I’m blinded
By your grace
You came and saved me
I said a prayer this morning
I prayed I would find the way
To another day, I was so afraid
’Til you came and saved
You came and saved me
And the rain was pouring
’Cause the sun faded away
Now I’m in a better place
No longer afraid
Blinded by your grace
You came and saved me
I said a prayer this morning
I prayed I would find the way
To another day, I was so afraid
’Til you came and saved
You came and saved me
And the rain was pouring
’Cause the sun faded away
Now I’m in a better place
No longer afraid
Blinded by your grace
You came and saved me
Lord, I’ve been broken
Although I’m not worthy
You fixed me, I’m blinded
By your grace
You came and saved me
Lord, I’ve been broken
Although I’m not worthy
You fixed me, now I’m blinded
By your grace
You came and saved me”
Stand By Me, as sung by The Kingdom Choir at the royal wedding, May 19th, 2018, now as a virtual choir. Lead Vocalist: Paul Lee Arr: Mark DeLisser Video Editor: Olrick Coker Mix Editor: Christopher Morris
Stand by Me was written by Ben E. King in the early sixties. He was inspired to update the early 20th-century gospel hymn "Stand by Me" by Charles Albert Tindley, which was based around the psalm, "will not we fear, though the Earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea."
