I love it when secular song lyrics are adapted to praise Jesus! Many of you will surely recognize the old Eagles tune on today’s song, with lyrics from two songs blended together for a fun sing-along . So turn up the volume and sing like nobody else is listening … sing to our Lord with all your heart … because Christ-follower, it was His amazing grace that saved a wretch like you and me! We were lost and blind, but He gave us sight and saved our soul!
John 9:36-39a – “He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? 37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. 39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see;” John 14:27 - “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
Song Lyrics: 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! And I get a peaceful, easy feeling and I know You won't let me down ‘cause I'm already standing on holy ground! ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved! How precious did that grace appear, the hour I first believed. When we’ve been here 10,000 years, bright shining as the sun, we’ve no less days to sing God’s praise than when we first begun. And I get a peaceful, easy feeling and I know You won't let me down ‘cause I'm already standing on holy ground!
Christ-follower, now that our chains are gone, we can have that peaceful, easy feeling of knowing we’ll spend eternity with our Lord and Saviour! Are you standing on the solid ground of Jesus Christ?
