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. |

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, 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. |

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. |

We are familiar with the hymn "Amazing Grace." Although this is a good hymn, it does not speak of the Triune God as our portion for our enjoyment. When this hymn was written, the experiential knowledge of God among the Lord's people had not come to this point. Even as recent as fifty years ago, Christians did not have the understanding of grace as the Triune God experienced and enjoyed by us. But standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before us, we have come to know that grace is far more than merely unmerited favor. Grace is the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—processed for our experience and enjoyment.

Praise be to God, I have forever since I've been born; have had undying faith in You! Though I have been through very hard times in my life.. And I am still struggling now; You have never left my side! As You have said, it wasn't a miracle, it's your faith that saved you! Forgive me when I stray, forgive me when I sin, forgive me when I don't stay on your path! Thank you for all You have and continue to do for me and my family. Amen🙏

Praise God for his saving grace! As rebellious as today's youth is, God saved me by His grace in 2017 at 22 years old! It's of God's great mercy that we are not consumed! Amen thank you Lord! Now I get to go to heaven because of what you did for me! Even so, come Lord Jesus!!!
Praise God for his Amazing Grace, without his grace and Mercies where would we be?

We’ve sang this song as long as I can remember my mother used to sing it very often in morning afternoon and at night sometimes before bed.
