Amazing Grace


Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now, I see.


T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear. And Grace, my fears relieved.

How precious did that Grace appear, the hour I first believed.


Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come.

T'was Grace that brought me safe thus far, and Grace will lead me home.


The Lord has promised good to me. His word my hope secures.

He will my shield and portion be, as long as life endures.


When we've been here ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun.

We've no less days to sing God's praise, then when we've first begun.


Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost but now am found, Was blind, but now, I see.


- John Newton

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:  Not of works, lest any man should boast.  Ephesians 2:8-9
