Amazing Grace

(album: The Gospel According To Ike And Tina - 1974)

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

My Chains are gone, I've been set free
My God my savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing Grace

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis Grace has brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home

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

Yet, when this flesh and heart shall fail
And mortal life shall cease
I shall possess within the veil
A life of joy and peace

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've first begun

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God who calls me hear below
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine
