That Saved a Wretch like me.

I was once was lost ,but now am found.

Was blind,but now I see.....

my favorite Hymn,,

wheel,

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 that brought me safe thus far

and Grace will lead me home...

mine too, wheel

The Lord has promised good to me...

His word my hope secures.

He will my shield and portion be...

as long as life endures.

When we've been here ten thousand years...

bright shining as the sun.

We've no less days to sing God's praise...

then when we've first begun.

Wonderful hymn.

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind, but now I see.

amen

And mortal life shall cease,

I shall possess within the veil,

A life of joy and peace.

Halleluia ! ! !

in a believer's ear

It soothes the sorrows, heals the wounds

and drives away his fear.

Must Jesus bear the cross alone

and all the world go free?

No, there's a cross for everyone

and there's a cross for me.

John Newton, the author of this hymn, wrote something like 10 or 12 verses to this hymn, all of them very rich.

I actually get extremely agitated when I hear it.

Ephesians 2:8

-------------------------------------------------------

GOD IS the Source of Grace. A simple statement, but one that would take a lifetime to explain. It is a statement that brings understanding and meaning to experience. It lifts hearts and minds and gives purpose to all who believe. The people of the earth who have it would not exchange the Grace of GOD for a millionaire's fortune, because it is a fortune: a spiritual fortune. The Grace of GOD is worth more than this world and this life can ever give.

GOD IS the Great Creator. All good things come from Him. One of those good things is His Grace. Whether you call it grace, gratia, gratus, grnati, charis, racon , or any other language, the meaning is basically the same. Grace is "a showing of kindness, a favor done without expectation of return, an act of mercy." Most of us have probably experienced grace at some point in our lives. Someone has shown us kindness. Someone has done us a favor without expecting anything in return. Someone has been merciful toward us. Human beings have a capacity for grace. But no human has come close to expressing the Grace that God has shown us. The grace people show others is but a drop in the ocean in comparison to the Amazing Grace of GOD!

All of GOD's qualities are wrapped up in His Grace: His Holiness, His Truth, His Righteousness, His Justice, His Goodness, His Love, His Mercy.

(")_(") This is Ghost Bunny,

Here comes Peter Cottontail,

Hoppin down

Da Bunny trail..

on this site,this is one of those times.

Knew all about Neo....but along comes Ron

"Whistlebritches",and just knocks me out.

Great stuff,,,,,

By the way for those inquiring minds the

author of this Hymn was a "Captain of a "Slave

Ship" and an all around not nice guy.

During a bleak period of his life he took

his problems to the Lord in prayer and became

saved,went on to be an Anglican Priest.

Praise God and all His goodness.

good movie

I also like Ghost Riders in the Sky.

"The song is about a cowboy who has a vision of red-eyed, steel-hooved cattle thundering across the sky, being chased by the ghosts of damned cowboys. One warns him that if he does not change his ways he will be doomed to join them, forever "trying to catch the Devil's herd across these endless skies". The song's story has a marked resemblance to the northern European mythic Wild Hunt."

Current and fast:

Marty Robbins Sings 'Ghost Riders In The Sky:

Blues Brothers:

Was it this version?

Leann Rimes - Amazing Grace (unaccompanied)

Ron

No religious implications.........just HATE the song.

I would classify it as a "bubblegum hymn".
