Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)

What do the lyrics in this song mean to you? It reminds me of our great God's love for us, what HE has done for us... remember, He sent His ONLY son to die for OUR sins. Jesus did NOTHING wrong, HE died for so that WE could live, so that WE can be free. Right now it is the only song I can sing with my whole heart, other songs just seem like words written on paper.

"Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)" by Chris Tomlin

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
