Amazing Grace

today was doing my quiet time and practicing for CF prayer meeting tomorrow...
the song one of my members chose was amazing grace.. and just felt like searching for the song on youtube... and i stop on this clip that talks about the origin of the song.. it was initially written by john newton... this is a modified version by chris tomlin... hope this clip will help us understand abit more of the beauty of god's grace... and as i was practicing earlier on... a soft presence of peace just comforted my heart despite all the hectic stuff goin on..

"Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)"

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm 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
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine
