Amazing Grace

Eva Hamer

D                    G      D
I once was lost but now I’m found
D                A
Once you set me free
D             G       D
I knew a life I couldn’t dream
D               A       D
You made someone of me
D
Amazing grace, that you would come
A7                          D
And choose, from all there, me
D                    G      D
When I was sick and angry, you
D             A        D
Were there to comfort me

CHORUS
D
I was scared I was lost I was helpless
A
You were there to set me free
D
Even if it would take your own freedom
A7 D
You loved and carried me

D                      G        D
When you appeared I cried and feared
D                A
This surely was the end
D                    G      D
I couldn’t think or dream or know
D               A    D
That you would be a friend
D                            G  D
Through so much pain and misery
D                           A7
You cannot start to know
D                        G   D
Your grace delivered me safely
D            A     D
Together we could go

CHORUS

D                    G      D
When we’ve been here for 40 years
D                        A
You’re old and grey and weak
D                       G             D
The treasures lie where old thoughts die
D            A     D
The power’s for the meek
D                       G             D
How sweet your name will sound to me
D                         A7
Throughout my withering years
D                       G             D
You saved my body, loved my soul
D            A       D
And chased away my fears

CHORUS
