Amazing Grace
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'm starting to see
'Twas grace had brought me safe this far
And grace my relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believe
Oh carry me home, oh carry me home, oh carry me home
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I'm starting to see
'Twas grace had brought me safe this far
And grace my relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believe
Oh carry me home, oh carry me home, oh carry me home
