Amazing Grace

"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"                      (inspired by the song) conitued my write below....

His grace has cleansed me in and out 
How great His presence be
The day I was formed in My mothers womb
His grace has chosen me.

Though I was born out of sin
His grace was watching me
When I grew , I sinned in number
Still His grace has forgiven me.

Days passed by I watched my ways
Oh, His grace was following me
I looked , I saw my sins were many
I repent
        His grace was waiting for me.

I cried and said forgive me Lord
His grace has transformed me .
Oh your Amazing grace is near 
How much you strengthen me

I was arrogant,sinful and rude
Your grace brought change in me
Today I live, I stand in you
Because only your grace has supported me.

True my Lord you never forsake
Your grace has touched me in 
Your grace I say is a Amazing Grace 
For only You have Died for Me.

Interesting writing. You directly quoted words of someone else you should give them the credit or place quotation marks around them. It is illegal to this. Keep writing. Sara
