Amazing Grace is one of the most beautiful songs that was ever written.  Of course you mainly hear this song at a funeral, but take a minute and read the lyrics and think about it’s wonderful message.

Another thing that’s amazing is that I don’t believe I have ever heard this song done as a Christian Rock song. If you’ve heard it done this way, please let me know who did it. I’d love to hear it.

Okay, read the lyrics and be amazed! 

Amazing Grace by 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.

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

Psalm 92: 1 – 5

It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp. For you make me glad by your deeds, O LORD; I sing for joy at the works of your hands. How great are your works, O LORD, how profound your thoughts!

This is where I should add a shameless plug for The God Mafia, God Rocks shirt!
