“AMAZING GRACE (My Chains Are Gone)”

Amazing graceHow sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like meI once was lost, but now I’m found

Was blind, but now I see

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fearAnd grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appearThe hour I first believed

My chains are goneI’ve been set free

My God, my Savior has ransomed meAnd like a flood His mercy reignsUnending love, amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to meHis word my hope secures

He will my shield and portion beAs long as life endures

[2x]My chains are goneI’ve been set free

My God, my Savior has ransomed meAnd like a flood His mercy reignsUnending love, amazing grace

The earth shall soon dissolve like snowThe sun forbear to shine

But God, Who called me here below,Will be forever mine.Will be forever mine.You are forever mine.
