Amazing Grace
how sweet the sound
That tried to save a pretty bad person like me
(thankfully I allowed it to work)
I once was lost but now I'm found
(right now at least, but ultimately-who knows?)
Was blind
(but not so blind I could not see my own need and desire the Savior)
But now
(right now as I sing this anyway)
I see
'Twas grace
(plus my humility in accepting the gift offered)
that taught my heart to fear
And grace
(along with my cooperation)
my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed
(Thank God, my faith caused His grace to work).
Through many dangers toils and snares
I have already come
(thanks to my continued commitment to Christ)
'Twas grace that brought me safe thus far
(so far, so good)
And grace will
(or at least has a chance to)
bring me home
Do you think this new hymn will catch on?
Think I prefer the original.

Yes, Mr Ed- it IS grace that motivates me.

Love it! Jesus did all the work on the cross - all of it. Before we are saved, we are dead in our sins - and what can a dead person do except rot? You hit the nail on the head!

A nice instrumental rendition of "Amazing Grace" was made by a Christian band for their CD album, A QUIET KNOWING: Canticles For The Heart.

So, you're a calvinist, and you like to try and make arminians look ridiculous. I wonder, is that grace that motivates you?
