[00:00.12](Trad./Arr.: Bill Maxwell)
[00:19.11]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.
[00:35.25]Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
[00:36.06]That saved a wretch like me
[00:38.94]I once was lost but now I'm found
[00:46.89]Was blind but now I see
[00:53.94]Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
[01:05.88]And grace my fears relieved
[01:12.12]How precious did that grace appear
[01:12.78]The hour I first believed
[01:13.41]Through many dangerous t? and s?
[01:30.12]I have already come
[01:30.48]This grace has bought me safe this far
[01:31.20]And grace will leave me home
[01:39.57]When we've been there ten-thousand years
[01:40.32]Bright shining as the sun
[01:41.10]We've no less days to sing God's praise
[01:52.23]And when we've first begun
[02:04.98]Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
[02:15.45]That saved oh wretch
[02:21.36]Like me I once was lost but now I'm found
[03:32.67]Was blind but now I see
