Everyone knows I love to sing. Amazing Grace is one of my favorites. On our retreat, I started to sing this, but my daughter indicated that it was a funeral song and I strongly disagreed. These are the words to Amazing Grace. It's a beautiful song, meaningful and when taken to heart, has brought me to tears. I mean, there it is in the first paragraph, I'm a wretch, I was lost but now I'm found. Now that's profound!!!!!!!!!!
Please let me know what you think. That's it. Funeral song or Whenever Song
"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...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us 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...
then when we've first begun.
