AMAZING GRACE by John Newton

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 FEAR RELIEVED
HOW PRECIOUS DID THAT GRACE APPEAR
THE HOUR I FIRST BELIEVED

THROUGH MANY DANGERS, TOILS AND SNARES
WE HAVE ALREADY COME
‘TWAS GRACE THAT BROUGHT US SAFE THUS FAR
AND GRACE WILL LEAD US HOME

WHEN WE’VE BEEN THERE TEN THOUSAND YEARS
BRIGHT SHINING AS THE SUN
WE’VE NO LESS DAYS TO SING GOD’S PRAISE
THAN WHEN WE FIRST BEGUN

Dear Friends...
Ini adalah salah satu lagu yang sangat saya sukai.
Saya menjulukinya: "Lagu Pertobatan"
Karena kita diselamatkan, bukan karena kebaikan-kebaikan kita,
bukan karena kehebatan atau kekuasaan yang kita miliki...
Melainkan karena Kasih Karunia dari Tuhan semata,
yang mampu menyelamatkan kita.
