Amazing Grace Lyrics

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.

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

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.

The story of amazing grace it was written over 200 years ago
By a sailor whose life was spared by the grace god
On a ship on a stormy see where he survived while the seaman who took his watch perished inspiring these words

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.
