Amazing Grace - Michael W. Smith

"Amazing Grace" is a Christian hymn written by English poet and clergyman John Newton (1725-1807) and published in 1779. With a message that forgiveness and redemption is possible regardless of the sins people commit and that the soul can be delivered from despair through the mercy of God, "Amazing Grace" is one of the most recognized songs in the English-speaking world.

Newton wrote the words from personal experience. He grew up without any particular religious conviction but his life's path was formed by a variety of twists and coincidences that were often put into motion by his recalcitrant insubordination. He was pressed into the Royal Navy and traded to a slave ship where he began a career in slave trading. One night a terrible storm battered his vessel so severely that he became frightened enough to call out to God for mercy, a moment that marked the beginning of his spiritual conversion. His career in slave trading lasted a few years more until he quit going to sea altogether and began to study theology

...acknowledge Jesus died 4 your past-present-future sins, accept that, repent and you're free from the law of sin (Rom.8:2)

TOTAL redemption in 3 stages; redemption of 1. Spirit, 2. Soul, and 3. body (1Thes.5:23)

1 a redeemde spirit united with Gods Spirit (1Cor 6:17). Sealed forever! (Eph1:13)

2 we renew our soul (emotions, opinions, decisions, thinking) (Rom.12:2) by studying Gods Word

3 trust Gods Grace/Word, have faith in Him and not in your senses & be healed!

I'm a biker, and I love this song. It is a wonderful fact that my chains are gone. So wonderful, that I have broken chains tattooed on my wrists to remind me of my freedom in Christ. Thanks for posting this song.

The woman who is playing the violin on stage, has no business wearing a shirt that shows her belly in the House of God. Inappropriate.

Fui a uma apresentação do Michael em Recife e pude constatar que ele é um ungido de Deus. Que o Senhor continue derramando bençãos sobre tua vida. Amém.
