Feel the Spirit and Message of Amazing Grace

My husband once brought home a CD, a collection of Classic folk song by Judy Collins, included in it is the song Amazing Grace, and he repeatedly played the song. I remember the first time I heard the tune of Amazing Grace, I was already a born-again Christian, the message of the song really seeped into my heart, the song has got spirit and causes my goose hair to stand. Having Christ Spirit alive in my heart and knowing Jesus Christ personally I can feel the power of the song. I can understand every meaning of the words. The first stanza says: I once was lost, but now I’m found . Was blind but now I see. Yes, before my friend has shared to me the Words of God, I was lost in the world, I felt my life was empty, no meaning at all. Christ has found me and answers all my needs and questions in life. His graces are really amazing and wonderful.

Can you sing the song?

Amazing Grace

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.

***

'Twas 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,
I have already come;
'Twas grace hath 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.

***

The world shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun refuse to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.

***

When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.
