Amazing Grace

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!

Thro’ many dangers, toils and snares,

I have already come;

’Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,

And grace will lead me 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.

Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

And mortal life shall cease;

I shall possess, within the veil,

A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,

The sun forbear to shine;

But God, who called me here below,

Will be forever mine.

JOHN NEWTON (Olney Hymns, 1779)

***************************************************

Beulah Land

I'm kind of homesick for a country

To which I've never been before.

No sad goodbyes will there be spoken

for time won't matter anymore.

Beulah Land, I'm longing for you

and some day on thee I'll stand.

There my home shall be eternal.

Beulah Land -- Sweet Beulah Land

I'm looking now across the river

where my faith will end in sight.

There's just a few more days to labor.

Then I will take my heavenly flight.

***************************************************

Take Me As I Am

Jesus, my Lord, to Thee I cry;

Unless Thou help me I must die;

Oh, bring Thy free salvation nigh,

And take me as I am.

Helpless I am, and full of guilt;

But yet for me Thy blood was spilt,

And Thou canst make me what Thou wilt,

And take me as I am.

And take me as I am,

And take me as I am,

My only plea-Christ died for me!

Oh, take me as I am.

No preparation can I make,

My best resolves I only break,

Yet save me for Thine own Name's sake,

And take me as I am.

Behold me, Savior, at Thy feet,

Deal with me as Thou seest meet;

Thy work begin, Thy work complete,

And take me as I am.

And take me as I am,

And take me as I am,

My only plea-Christ died for me!

Oh, take me as I am.
