Amazing grace!

Today, January 1, 2023, is the 250th anniversary of the first time “Amazing Grace” was ever sung. My husband grew up in the Scottish culture in the south of the South Island of NZ so I give a nod to him with this version using the Scottish bagpipes.

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

Through many dangers, toils, and snares

I have already come

This grace that brought me safe thus far

And grace will lead me home

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 first begun

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

It's the start of a new year and it is my prayer that you all may live under the grace that our Lord Jesus brought us by His life of obedience and sacrifice on this earth.
