Amazing Grace

Our devotion for tonight was on John Newton, the author of "Amazing Grace."  Here are the lyrics to one of my favorite hymns.  This particular version is sung by Chris Tomlin.

Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)"

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
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
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has 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 forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

I didn't deserve one ounce of God's love, mercy and grace, yet he chose me out of the midst of mire as His.  His promise is sufficient for me.  Have you dedicated your life to God and allowed His sufficiency to rule your life?
