Amazing Grace


Amazing Grace
"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


but God who called me here below
will be forever mine
will be forever mine
you are forever mine
you are
you are forever mine
you are forever mine
you are forever mine...."


My friend Courtney posted this on her blog recently.  I've heard "Amazing Grace" countless times.  But this time I really listened to the words.  I let the words and music speak to me.  They are powerful.  This song is not your standard Amazing Grace melody.  The words are there.  The meaning is there.  My chains are gone.  I have been set FREE!

Now you listen to it.
