Amazing Grace

You know, a lot of times we sing songs without thinking much about the words. Now I know you've all heard the song "Amazing Grace" by John Newton, and I know you probably all know the words. But be honest, how often do you truly consider and dwell on those words that speak of our Savior's precious love for us? I've written the song out but have re-worded it. I find it sometimes helps me to understand an author when I re-write in my own words:

Amazing grace, oh what a sweet, sweet sound; it saved me, a wretched sinner! I had lost my way, but now Jesus has found me. I was blind, but now I can see.
His grace has taught me how to fear God, and it has taken away all other fears. Oh how precious that grace seemed when I first believed.
I have already come through many danger, toils and snares. God brought me safely through, and His grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised that good will come to me, and I trust His word completely. He will be my protector and my inheritance as long as I’m alive.
When we’ve been in Heaven for ten thousand years, and we’re bright and shining like the sun, still we have no fewer days to sing God’s praise then when we first began it.
