How Sweet the Sound

Well, I tried twice to delete this blog because I really have too much to do to pay any attention to it. Plus my husband is annoyed that I have started a blog. That is because he started one last week and he hates to be copied. But since I couldn't get this blog to delete, I figured I might as well add to it. I'm not going to send this link to anyone I know right now so I don't think it is in much danger of being read!

I just love the lyrics to this hymn. Read it and let it sink in. Really, really sink in. I can hardly get through it without crying (or at least trying really hard not to cry). If you have seen your heart the way that I have been allowed to see mine, and you know that the heart you now have is made alive and whole only because of God and his grace, you won't be able to get through it without some tears either.

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 sings God's praise
Than when we first begun
