Amazing Grace Lyrics

No self respecting site on how to write song lyrics would be complete without mentioning one of the most popular set of lyrics of all time… Amazing Grace!  What is exactly about those special lyrics that seems to magically draw people back again time after time?

Amazing Grace Lyrics

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.

T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear. And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come; ‘Tis Grace that 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.

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

When we’ve been here ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun. We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’ve first begun.   Amen

Amazing Grace Lyrics

Written by English poet and clergyman, John Newton, and published in 1779, the message spread by these lyrics is a very powerful one indeed. Anyone can be saved and their soul redeemed if their conviction in the almighty father is strong enough.  The mercy of our lord God is greater than any of the sins we shall commit as long as we are truly sorry for our transgressions.
