AMAZING GRACE

I'm always amazed at God's Grace, and when He gives it!
When the song, "Amazing Grace" was written in 1773, by John Newton, it didn't sound a thing like it does today! It wasn't until some two hundred years later, when another "unknown" composer found some words from Harriett Beecher Stow's book, "Uncle Tom's Cabin", and wrote them as the last verse of that song,and Judy Collins sang it a'cappella, that it became famous! You remember the lines...."when we've been there ten thousand years"......That verse was from from "Uncle Tom's Cabin," and yet God has taken all these lyrics and so richly blessed us with this song and the words!
God took a song about Grace and 2000 years later profoundly spoke to the hearts of men and women, and when they heard that song, they have never been the same!
In that manner, we have all been able to say that this is what is so amazing about God's Grace!
