Words and Music by : Mary Ashworth & Rick Macakatche

Once a pauper, now a millionaire,
Once a sinful heart, now transformed and pure,
He took this form of clay, gave it a soul,
He washed all the sins away, then He made me whole.

It was all because of His amazing grace,
That I now, can say I am saved,
The pain and agony, He suffered just for me,
All because of His precious life He freely gave,
I can never comprehend the loved extended,
On that rugged cross, as he took my place,
I may never know, why He loved me so,
But there's one thing I surely know,
It was all because of His amazing grace,

Just a sinner, discouraged, filled with doubt,
Down in a valley, couldn't find my way out,
He took these blinded eyes, made them to see,
Then He broke the chains of sin, yes, He set me free.

Such a love this world, has never known,
A compassion, that no other has ever shown,
On a road to destruction, in a world that was lost,
But He shed His precious blood,
Yes, He paid the cost.

I may never know, why He loved me so,
But there's one thing I surely know,
It was all because of His amazing grace.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
