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.
’Twas 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,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

Ephesians 2
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ,
(by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time, make remarks about the fact that we are saved by grace. Our works are the fruit of our faith, but the price of salvation has already been paid. Emphasize that Jesus came here to bring light to darkness and show us the way to eternal life. This is a gift and cannot be earned. All we need to do is believe on Christ Jesus in our hearts.
2. As the song plays the second time, read Ephesians 2:4-14.
Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1-3 together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.
