comforting grace

so every now and then being away from home is really hard. fortunately, God always uses those moments for the better. this last time, i found this song by Chris Tomlin, "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)," on grooveshark and then later i realized that i also had it in my itunes AND in my ipod. i have been listening to it a lot this past week and thought you might be touched by it too

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 fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Chorus:
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

Chourus(x2)

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine
