I think drsteve would welcome you with open arms if you followed his request to post only songs that "proclaim a sovereign God whose grace is un-leveraged."

patiently waiting for Limited attonement version by the "Limited (a)tone-ettes".

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! Some once were lost, but now some found; some blind, but now some see.

’Twas grace that taught some hearts to fear, And grace some fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour some first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares, some have already come; ’Tis grace hath brought some safe thus far, And grace will lead some home (through a contrived 5 point system that glosses over infant "election").

The Lord has promised good to some, His Word some hopes secures; He will some Shield and Portion be, As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, some shall possess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, Who called some here below, Shall be forever available to some.

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 some'd first begun.

.........ooops - sorry for the ping xzins

Cute, but John Newton, the song writer, was Calvinist.

Also, your attempt at beign funny really doesn't work when Amazing Grace only speaks of the writer's salvation, so it does not really have a clear unlimited/limited atonement perspective just based on that. But, we know it was a limited atonement perspective because that was the view of the song writer!
