This was the opening song at mass this morning. I always get goosebumps when I hear this song and when we sing it at church, I always get misty-eyed and even get choked up at those times when I feel that I’m lost.

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.

T’was Grace that taught -
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear -
the hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares -
we have already come.
T’was Grace that brought us safe thus far -
and Grace will lead us home.

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.

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.
