Grace, one of the most beautiful and overwhelming qualities of God. Be thankful for the grace you received, and then show some yourself.
lyrics
My Chains are Gone by JTR
Amazing grace for me was found
When I stumbled and fell to the ground
It was an understatement to say that I was hell bound
But even still It touched my blind eyes and deaf ears, how sweet the sound
Grace came down in the flesh for all to see
That there is something about that man that by ourselves we could never be
And when he died the darkness hidden inside began to flee
He did it all to save a wretch like me
Gone are the chains of lust and hate
Who knew that after making my own choices this would be my fate
I took the nice soft low path instead of the high road that is narrow, rugged, and straight
No one could take away this burden so I will have to wait
For a Savior to cleanse my soul and to build me up and make me whole
To take this cardboard box of religion and put in some air holes
And to make talking to God more like chilling with my best friend than awkward small talk at the punch bowl
He will my shield and potion be however the dice rolls
I’ve been set free of the of the bonds of this life
No longer worrying about this world’s drama or strife
I will fear no man wielding either a gun or a knife
No longer will I worry about what will be my job or who’ll be my wife
And like a flood, He will wash me clean
I am no longer diseased and obscene
I have seen what it really means to give my life to Christ and not just saying a small prayer when you turn 15
His unending love is what ive seen
His amazing grace. On it I lean.
His amazing grace, because of it my hope is secure
This love sick feeling has no cure
So cleanse me oh God let your water pour
Let me see your Gospel beyond the brochure
May your presence grow in size and my pride become miniature
May his amazing grace flow as long as life endures
