Notes About The Poem

Amazing Grace



Oh, 'amazing grace'
your words set my soul aglow
with eternal hope
eyes now open, and I see
God's dear love flow into me

Oh, 'amazing grace'
your sweet music brings a tear
as you clutch my heart
ears now open, and I hear
your song of faith speaks to me

Oh, 'amazing grace'
you stir thoughts of loved ones gone
your hymn comforts me
words that lifted souls to fly
with amazing grace back home
