Leann Rimes - Amazing Grace

Amazing
Grace Lyrics

John Newton
(1725-1807)

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

I have
already come;

'Tis Grace
that 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.

Yes, when
this flesh and heart shall fail,

And mortal
life shall cease;

I shall
profess, within the vail,

A life of
joy and peace.

The
following stanza was written by an an anonymous author, often replacing the
sixth stanza, or inserted as the fourth.

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've first begun.

Chorus:

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.
