amazing grace-mahalia jackson
|
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;
|
'Tis grace has 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 sheild and portion be
|
as long as life endures.
|
|
yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
|
and mortal life shall cease,
|
I shall possess within the veil
|
a life of joy and peace.
|
|
when I've been there ten thousand years,
|
bright shining as the sun,
|
I've no less days to sing God's praise
|
than when I first begun.
