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.
.
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.


Have you stopped to consider this song. To me it's just one of those old hymns that we sing. I don't think I've ever stopped to consider the lyrics. Simple tune, simple words, but words that have so much depth and meaning underneath.
This song is all about grace. Where would we be without grace. We were wretched, lost, blind, and fearful. We were worse off than that, but this is what the song describes. But grace, that amazing grace, appeared before us. Was given to us. Now it is precious in our sight. And we we've no less days to sing God's praise, then when we first begun.
I don't know about you but as for me, I really need to start paying more attention to the hymns I sing.
