Amazing Grace

The phone kept ringing yesterday, one bad news after another. First a call my aunt was in ER with heart problems, now going to have open heart surgery on friday, second lisa calls and says doug's sister in terrible motorcycle accident, horrible leg injury, and third call my uncle's cancer is invasive and more surgery required! I'm so glad God doesn't get overwhelmed, like I do! I came across these lyrics to this powerful song! So today I'm reflecting on God's gift of Grace and praying that he will pour out His mercy to these families in their time of need!

Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)"

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

My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood
His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace

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

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine
