I said to the Angel, "I won't let you go
Until a blessing from you I've received"
But when He asked "What's your name"
I recalled my brother's blessing
That I'd stolen when my father I deceived
"Are you Esau, my son?" "I am" I replied
As I stood there in my clever disguise
To the Angel when I cried out
"I am Jacob", then He would bless me
And forever change my name and my life
He changed my life (He changed my life)
He changed my name (He changed my name)
He changed walk (He changed my walk)
And I'll never be the same
The one I fought (The one I fought)
I saw His face (I saw His face)
And now I rest (Now I rest)
In His amazing grace
On my way to Damascus in the middle of the day
Came a light from Heaven brighter than the sun
Then a voice called my name
And I said, "Who can this be"
But when the answer came I knew what I had done
It was against this very name I did everything I could
He said "I'm Jesus the one you persecute"
Undeserving of such mercy
I became His chosen vessel
To reveal to all the world His grace and truth
He changed my life (He changed my life)
He changed my name (He changed my name)
He changed walk (He changed my walk)
And I'll never be the same
The one I fought (The one I fought)
I saw His face (I saw His face)
And now I rest (Now I rest)
In His amazing grace
Once I was blind (Once I was blind)
But now I see (But now I see)
In sin was bound (In sin was bound)
But now I've been set free
The guilt is gone (The guilt is gone)
The debt is paid (The debt is paid)
All things are new (All things are new)
Old things are passed away
He changed my life
