(Trad./Arr.: Bill Maxwell)
Some believe that "Christian" is another word for "preachy." If that was the case, John Newton could not have been a Christian. He was a slave trader and was responsible for much pain and sorrow. One day he was literally hit in the head and in a light saw what the entire faith really meant: grace. Then he wrote Amazing Grace.
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 
Through many dangerous t? and s? 
I have already come 
This grace has bought me safe this far 
And grace will leave me home 
When we've been there ten-thousand years 
Bright shining as the sun 
We've no less days to sing God's praise 
And when we've first begun 
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound 
That saved oh wretch 
Like me I once was lost but now I'm found 
Was blind but now I see
