Amazing Grace

This song has been going around and around in my head the last couple months.
I honestly feel like such a wretch some days and so humbled....that despite all
my failures....God still loves me and calls me His own.


"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...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us 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.

Laura--this is one of my favorite songs also. I have a really neat wooden sign on my wall by the kitchen table that says.."Amazing Grace" and then I just ordered on that has the lyrics written out and it's in the dining room. Sometime when you come over I'll have to show them to you. :)
