Lyrics of "amazing grace"
amazing grace
What a sweet voice
Saved a poor man like me.
I was once lost, but now I have found it.
I used to be blind, but now I see it.
Grace taught it.
The fear in my heart
Grace eased my fears.
How precious that grace is
I believe for the first time.
Go through many dangers, traps and traps
We have come.
It is grace that brings us security.
Grace will take us home.
Grace will take us home.
amazing grace
What a sweet voice
Saved a poor man like me.
I was once lost, but now I have found it.
I used to be blind, but now I see it.
I used to be blind, but now I see it.
