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.
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'd first begun
the world shall soon dissolved like snow
the sun forbear to shine,
but God who called me here below
will be forever mine
i thought it incredibly appropriate that the first worship song i would share with you is this hymn by John Newton, an ex-slave trader. even if you've never been to church, everyone knows this song, but i'll finish it off with a chorus from Hillsong's latest: Oceans (Where Feet May Fail), one with no less worship than it's predecessor.
Spirit, lead me when my trust is without border,
let me walk upon the water
wherever you would call me.
and take me deeper than my feet could ever wander;
where my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Savior.
