Amazing grace by John Newton

Amazing grace, How sweet the sound

The wondrous Good News shared
That saved a wretch like me.

Grace is undeserved by all
I once was lost, but now I am found,

Though I could not find God He came to me
Was blind, but now I see.
My spiritual eyes are now open

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

Grace revealed my filth and guilt from sin
And grace my fears relieved.

Grace revealed salvation's cleansing power
How precious did that grace appear

OH THE WONDROUS JOY OF SALVATION!
The hour I first believed.

My eyes were opened the moment I received grace

Through many dangers, toils and snares

Remember what God has brought you through
I have already come,

Remember who you were
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far

God's prevenient grace revealed
And grace will lead me home.

Grace guides me in the Way to God

The Lord has promised good to me

The Lord's promise is true
His word my hope secures;

The Living Word Jesus and the Bible the written word
He will my shield and portion be,

Jesus is my home and protector
As long as life endures.

As long as this life endures onto blessed eternity

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

When my body fails
And mortal life shall cease

Go from mortal to immortal
I shall possess within the veil,

Behind the veil in the Temple was the Holy of Holies where God's presence dwelled
A life of joy and peace.

Joy is found in all situations where happiness depends on situation

Peace is to have a full and complete relationship with God and others

When we've been there ten thousand years

Ten thousand is 10 X 10 X 10 X 10. Ten is a positional number and four is special because of four directions of earth and the Gospel must go to all four corners
Bright shining as the sun,

Could say bright shining because of the Son
We've no less days to sing God's praise

Jesus is the eternal and constant Light of Heaven so there is no night
Than when we've first begun.

Heaven is to be eternaly present with God
