Lyrics
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a soul like me.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas Grace that taught my heart to sing.
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;
'Tis 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.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
Amazing Grace, has set me free
To touch, to taste, to feel
The wonders of accepting love,
Have made me whole and real.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a soul like me
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
I was bound, but now I am free!
