I have sung this song many times in church without even thinking about it. We are guilty of only singing the first two verses or just the chorus. I am guilty of just singing the words automatically in autopilot without even considering the words. But now, now that I have read these words, I realize just how powerful they are! This song is not just a “church” song, but it is “my life” song! Could it also your “life song”? Take the time to read all these words to the end for yourself. Let them speak to you now!
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost but now I’m found; was blind but now I see!
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear; the hour I first believed.
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free! My God, my Savior has ransomed me!
And like a flood His mercy reigns; unending love, amazing grace!
The Lord has promised good to me! His word, my hope secures!
He will my shield and portion be; as long as life endures.
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free! My God, my Savior has ransomed me!
And like a flood His mercy reigns, unending love, amazing grace!
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, the sun forbear to shine.
But God, who called me here below, will be forever mine……
You are forever mine!
