Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch; like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
That saved a wretch; like me!
I once was lost, but now am 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!
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

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

When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun.
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun.

Amazing Grace was written in 1772 by John Newton, an Anglican minister in England. In his first career, he was a captain of a slave ship. He participated in the transatlantic slave trade for decades carrying kidnapped people from Africa to England, America and the Caribbean. What turned around his life was a shipwreck that almost killed him. He vowed to God he would to be a better man if he was saved. All the guilt and remorse that bleeds in this wonderful song had its roots in slavery.
Jesus Christ is the Almighty, Who is and was and is to come. He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and He reigns forever and ever.

My first time here. I love it. Everything here so simplified. I only get piano or beat, I have to sing my song as well. That keeps me engaged. Loving it.

Oh! What an indescribable grace of God's love that sets anyone who dares to come to Jesus to be free from sin and eternal death.
Thank You God for coming down in the nature and likeness of man to rescue the falling man from everlasting condemnation.

RESPONSE to Thandi in Livingston, Zambia
Thandi, I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but I was moved to respond to your post. I’m so sorry for the pain that you are experiencing. It sounds agonizing and my heart is deeply with you ❤️. I will pray from my heart for you ❤️. Dear Jesus, please be with Thandi in her darkest hour, in the midst of her deep pain. I pray that she would be overcome by the life giving and life changing presence of your Holy Spirit. May it renew her hope in you and in life. May you help her to feel her grief knowing that she is held and loved, and that no matter what has happened in her life, that she could know and experience the unconditional and all encompassing nature of the love and grace that you offer to her freely. May she be able to receive it without measure, and come to know you more. I lift her up to you, Jesus, and pray that you would provide for her what she needs, that you would protect her, and that you would bring people into her life, swiftly, that she can count on for help and Godly love, guidance and wisdom. May you restore her purpose and passion for life, Lord. May she no longer have to live in fear, but in freedom in you. Thank you, Lord, for delivering her and lifting her up. I pray, Oh Lord, that she would somehow see this and know that you are alive. In Jesus precious name I pray, amen. ❤️
