'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved - John Newton
I reached out, with hope,
To the Lord of my heart, my life,
Knowing I could surely cope,
Because I know Him, His sacrifice…
I etched my life in His grace,
Feeling alive in the midst of praise
Because His love, His embrace
Brings me a joy that can always amaze….
I felt the wonder of knowing,
His light is always stirring the love,
Love who shines as it’s glowing,
Piercing the dark, shining down from above…
I longed to know Him better,
Feel His peace wash over me,
Though I’m nothing more than a debtor,
His light falls quiet, stilling the raging sea…
I burned with a yearning for His peace,
His light, His love, His unending affection.
I must decrease so that He will increase,
Leaving a trail of love, proof of His perfection.
I’ll never stop burning with this desire –
Hungering for His presence surrounding me.
While I can’t know the strength of His fire,
I know that He is the love who set me free.
I’ll always believe in the King of Kings,
While others might not know Him,
As for me, His grace gave me wings,
And I’ll forever sing that old hymn….
“Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound”…
Thanks to Him, a lost sinner’s been found!
