Amazing Grace. ( Ephesians 2 v 10 )
A man was talking on the radio about the events in USA of the protests during the civil rights movement. He spoke of how on one march they were attacked,it was very frightening,but the protesters were determined to not give up.So they marched the next evening, they were soon surrounded by a racist crowd ,many of them had table legs,in which to attack the protesters,the man telling the events of that evening,said he felt real fear.But just at that moment someone started singing , 'Amazing Grace', and as the protesters moved forward , a pathway through the racist mob opened up so letting them walk through.The racist were confused by the hymn being sung as it was one of the hymns they sung in their church . Amazing Grace, saved the day,Gods amazing Grace.That amazing grace did not only save the day,it has saved multitudes ,it has sustained multitudes,it has strengthened multitudes. 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. 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; Tis grace has 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. Yes, 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 there a thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise, Than when we first begun. ( John Newton )
