I heard an old 0ld story, how a savior from his glory. How he gave his life on Calvery to save a wretch like me. I heard about his groaning, of his precious blood a toning, Then I repented of my sins and won the victory. O victory in Jesus, my savior forever. He sought me and brought me, with his redeeming blood, he loved me i knew him and all my love is due him; he plunged me to victory beneath the cleaning flood.
I've seen the lighting flashing and heard the thunder roll. I've felt sin's breakers dashing, which tried to conquer my soul. I've heard the voice of my savior, he bid me still fight on,he promise never to leave me, never to leave me alone. He died on Calver's mountain, for me they pierced his side. For me he opened that fountain, the crimson cleansing tide. For me he's waiting in glory, upon his heavenly throne. He promise never to leave me, never to leave me alone. Never alone, never alone, he promise never to leave me never to leave me along.
Amazing grace, how sweet it sounds, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now I'm 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. Thru many dangers' toils and snares, I have already come. Tis grace hath brought me safe this far, and grace will lead me home.

Father, we stretch our hands to thee, no other help we know. If you withdraw yourself from us, we have nowhere to go. What did thine only son endured, before we started to live. What pain what labor to secure, our souls from endless death and so on the hymn goes.
