Grace Unveiled: Transformative Journey Through Redemption
Lyrics
Amazing grace!
Expressing awe and admiration for extraordinary grace.
How sweet the sound
Describing the pleasantness of the grace's impact.
That saved a wretch like me.
Acknowledging that grace saved someone considered morally destitute.
I once was lost, but now am found,
Reflecting on a past state of being lost but now found.
Was blind, but now I see.
Metaphorically expressing a transition from spiritual blindness to clarity.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
Attributing the development of a reverential fear in the heart to grace.
And grace my fears relieved.
Highlighting the relieving nature of grace on fears and anxieties.
How precious did that grace appear
Emphasizing the perceived value of grace at the moment of belief.
The hour I first believed.
Recalling the transformative impact of grace at the time of initial faith.
Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come;
Acknowledging overcoming various challenges with the help of grace.
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far
Crediting grace for guiding safely through life's difficulties.
And grace will lead me home.
Expressing confidence that grace will guide home in the future.
The Lord has promised good to me
Affirming God's promises and the security found in His word.
His word my hope secures;
Depicting God as a protector and provider of necessities.
He will my shield and portion be,
Affirming God's role as a shield and source of sustenance throughout life.
As long as life endures.
Expressing confidence in God's support as long as life lasts.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease,
Anticipating a future beyond mortal life filled with joy and peace.
I shall possess within the veil,
Expecting a blissful existence beyond the earthly realm.
A life of joy and peace.
Describing the anticipated quality of life in the afterlife.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Contemplating an eternal future of praising God.
Bright shining as the sun,
Depicting a vivid and enduring brightness in the divine presence.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Asserting an everlasting commitment to singing praises to God.
Than when we've first begun.
Emphasizing the enduring nature of praising God from the beginning.
