The chancel choir will lift up "Amazing grace, my chains are gone" as our anthem. Our old time favorite "Amazing grace" is arranged with a new song " my chains are gone" in this song. It is a beautiful and inspiring song for sure. I have prayed that we all lift up our hearts to the Lord with the music.
The youth handbell will play two uplifting songs also.
This week is our church picnic Sunday. I hope I can see you all at the service as well as the picnic. God calls us as "His family" and it will be a wonderful family picnic.
Here is the wonderful text of our anthem.
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.
T'was grace that taught my heart to fear; and grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear, the hour I first believed.
My chains are gone, I've been set free. My God, my Savior ransomed me, and like a flood His mercy reigns, unending love, amazing grace.
The Lord has promised good to me; His Word my hope secures. He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun will cease to shine. But God who called me here below, will be forever mine, will be forever mine.
