Blinded By Your Grace Pt. 2
Stormzy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I prayed I will find a way
To another day
I was so afraid
'Til you came and saved
You came and saved me
And the rain was pouring
I'm in a better place
No longer afraid
Blinded by your grace
You came and saved me
Amazing grace that saved the wretch
And now prayers all I got (saved the wretch)
Care is there
I say a spade's a spade
If you're digging me or not
I'm a heal the world with words (amen)
You go heal a load of hurt (amen)
And I'm alright, 'cause my God's almighty
I ask for forgiveness
I sold my soul with my business
I sold it all and you're my witness
I even brought in my siblings
Plus I aborted my kids, then
I hear their cries in the distance
That's something I have to live with
Still I reply, "I'm a Christian"
I repent, I repent
Sacrifice all my bread
Give my time up for lent
Every night say my prayers
'Cause sometimes I forget
And I swear every time I shouldn't
And 'cause of you I care every time I shouldn't
But God made man in the light
Of his own image
So I shine bright by my woman
She my better side
And my sun's like very bright
And my sky's like heaven's sight
And I drop down on both knees
And I raise my arms to exercise my
Love prayer, thug prayer
When I die, let me get a white dove prayer
If God's working overtime
I shall not want unless I grind
I said a prayer this morning
I prayed I will find a 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
I'm in a better place
No longer afraid
Blinded by your grace
You came and saved me
Yeah
You saved me, yeah
You came and saved me
Oh, ooh, yeah
Yeah
I'm blinded by your grace
Every night and every day
And I was lost, yeah
But ever since you found me
I'm blinded by your grace
Through the darkness you came
And I'll be alright
With you by my side
I can't escape you
I can't replace you
So don't walk away from me now
Easy

I said a prayer this morning
Started my day with hope and faith
I prayed I will find a way
Asked for guidance and help to make it through the day
To another day
To another opportunity to live and make a difference
I was so afraid
I was frightened and lost
'Til you came and saved
Until I found someone or something that rescued me
You came and saved me
You brought hope, inspiration or love which helped me through my difficulties
And the rain was pouring
During a difficult time when everything was going wrong
'Cause the sun faded away
When everything felt dark and bleak, and hope seemed distant
I'm in a better place
I feel better, safe, and secure
No longer afraid
I overcame my fear and insecurity
Blinded by your grace
Overwhelmed by the love and goodness of another person or a higher power
Amazing grace that saved the wretch
Miraculous love that helped me despite my flaws and weaknesses
And now prayers all I got (saved the wretch)
My faith and my hopes are my main source of inspiration and comfort
Care is there
Showing concern and kindness to others
I say a spade's a spade
Being honest and straightforward
If you're digging me or not
Whether people like me or not
I'm a heal the world with words (amen)
Using my words and actions to make the world a better place
You go heal a load of hurt (amen)
Encouraging others to do good and help those in need
And I'm alright, 'cause my God's almighty
Feeling safe and secure because of my faith in a higher power
I ask for forgiveness
Admitting my mistakes and shortcomings and seeking redemption
I sold my soul with my business
Prioritizing money and success over my values and morals
I sold it all and you're my witness
Acknowledging my regrets and owning up to my mistakes
I even brought in my siblings
Involved my family in my past mistakes
Plus I aborted my kids, then
Making an incredibly difficult and regrettable decision to terminate my pregnancies
I hear their cries in the distance
Still feeling the pain and hurt of my past actions and decisions
That's something I have to live with
Knowing that I made irreversible choices and now have to face the consequences
Still I reply, "I'm a Christian"
Despite my past mistakes and regrets, I still believe in my faith and values
I repent, I repent
Asking for forgiveness and committing to a better path
Sacrifice all my bread
Giving up something that I value for a greater cause
Give my time up for lent
Making a commitment to a period of sacrifice and reflection
Every night say my prayers
Carving out time to connect with my faith and acknowledge my blessings and struggles
'Cause sometimes I forget
Admitting my human tendencies to make mistakes and falter
And I swear every time I shouldn't
Making promises or commitments that I cannot keep or don't follow through on
And 'cause of you I care every time I shouldn't
Finding inspiration and hope from a higher power or positive influence to do good, even when it is hard
But God made man in the light of his own image
Believing in the inherent goodness and potential of all human beings
So I shine bright by my woman
Finding love and support from a partner
She my better side
Finding balance and wholeness through a partner
And my sun's like very bright
Feeling gratitude and warmth from the blessings in my life
And my sky's like heaven's sight
Seeing the beauty and hope in the world around me
And I drop down on both knees
Showing humility and gratitude through prayer
And I raise my arms to exercise my
Expressing joy and gratitude through physical gesture
Love prayer, thug prayer
Prayer can come from any type of person, and can take many forms
When I die, let me get a white dove prayer
Hoping for a peaceful passing and a positive spiritual legacy
If God's working overtime
Believing that a higher power is involved in the world and working to make it a better place
I shall not want unless I grind
Believing in the value of hard work and persistence in achieving my goals
You saved me, yeah
Feeling grateful and indebted to someone who helped me through a difficult time
Oh, ooh, yeah
Expressing emotion and gratitude
I'm blinded by your grace
Feeling overwhelmed by the goodness and love of another person or a higher power
Every night and every day
Feeling this way consistently and constantly
And I was lost, yeah
Feeling lost, scared, and unsure
But ever since you found me
Finding hope and strength from someone who is supporting and inspiring me
Through the darkness you came
Finding light and hope from a source of goodness and love in a bleak period of my life
And I'll be alright
Believing that I can overcome my struggles and find peace and happiness
With you by my side
Finding strength and support from someone who is encouraging and empowering me
I can't escape you
Feeling the constant presence of someone or something that is providing guidance and support
I can't replace you
Feeling the irreplaceable value of someone or something that is providing guidance and support
So don't walk away from me now
Asking for continued support and guidance from someone who has helped me through a difficult time

One time for Fraser T Smith on the chords
I think 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

Although I'm not worthy
You fixed me
I'm Blinded By Your Grace
You came and saved me

I prayed I would find a 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, yeah
I said a prayer this morning, I prayed I would find a 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

Although I'm not worthy
You fixed me
Now I'm Blinded By Your Grace
You came and saved me
