The name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous run to it and are safe. -

:: CORRECT LYRICS ::
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm 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
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace
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
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

Song Description:
"I was doing some research on John Newton and the writing of the hymn, "Amazing Grace." John Newton wrote these lyrics as a poem for a sermon describing what God had done for him; that God had not only saved his soul, but also saved him from slave trading. That inspired me to write the simple refrain, "my chains are gone..." I also found it interesting that the familiar last verse, "when we've been there ten thousand years..." was not in the original, but added years later by another author. I have included in this version Newton's original last verse." - Chris Tomlin
