Text

Amazing Grace
by H. Leslie Adams

Amazing Grace you fill my heart with song,
A song of love that lasts the whole day long!
Amazing Grace, surround me
with the strength of your caress,
Renew my trust that I’m forever blessed!
Amazing Truth speak to me with your voice,
Uniting all within that says, “Rejoice!”
Amazing Truth unfold the joy that only you can bring,
The joy that comes when I begin to sing!
Abiding hope, abiding faith
Abiding strength that comes to me.
Abiding life, abiding love,
Abiding song of eternity!
Amazing Grace, surround me
with the strength of your caress,
Renew my trust that I’m forever blessed!
Amazing Grace you fill my heart with song,
A song of love that lasts the whole day long!
A song of peace that frees my heart and lifts me high above,
Amazing Grace, you fill me with your love!
