Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise

Amazing Grace, How Sweet the sound!!!
This is a must learn and know for my children and children's children, because their father and grandfather immensely benefitted from the amazing grace of Jesus Christ.
Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania
I am who I am today not because of my own strength but the grace of God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ has brought me that far. I am grateful for the love He has for me, for the free gift of life and above all for the Amazing grace.
Detroit, MI, United States
John Newton's tombstone, written by himself, says, "John Newton, clerk, once an infidel and Libertine, a servant of slavers in Africa, was, by the rich mercy of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, preserved, restored, pardoned, and appointed to preach the faith he had so long labored to destroy."
When it was suggested that Newton retire (at age 82!) due to poor health and a failing memory, he responded, "My memory is nearly gone, but I remember 2 things: that I am a great sinner, and that Christ is a great Savior!"
- Great Songs of Faith by Brown & Norton
Abuja, Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria
It was the grace of God that rescued me. When I look back to see the dangers that I toyed with and the grace that sustained me, till I found the love of Christ and His strength to serve Him, I weep. Unholy and unworthy me, He choose to die for.
United States
This song has three more verses:
Verse 3
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come;
'Twas grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
Verse 5
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease
I shall possess within the veil
A life of joy and peace!
Verse 6
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forebear to shine;
But God, who called me here below
Will be forever mine.
Chennai, TN, India
We live in a fast and ever changing world, but one thing that's constant is the unchanging, unfailing, unconditional love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Moshi, Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
Amazing grace, is real the amazing one. I love this song because it reminds me the tendor love of our Saviour JESUS CHRIST. Oh, how precious, how merciful and how gracious. Praise be to Jesus.
