That hymn was written, I believe, by the wife of a Baptist minister stuck in bed for a year who felt useless and empty and not worth living. And Just As I Am is what she wrote. Glory To The Lamb of God.
Amazing Grace, How Sweet The Sound....
Amazing Grace
Ephesians 2:8
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!
Thro' many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me;
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow;
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
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.
I'm sitting here snubbing and crying like a baby!!!
Lord hear Your people crying to You for Terri!
Father, hear us, I pray!!!
