AMAZING GRACE V

Once upon a time
in a land far away,
A man sat in chains
for his crime he must pay.

He sat in his cell
a tear in his eye,
The judge found him guilty
and now he would die.
V
It was no accident
that he was there,
He went to trial
and he knew it was fair.

Deep dark and cold
was that hole where he lay,
He prayed for light
just one tiny ray.

V
The man had lost hope
when he heard the key in the door,
He thought this must be it,
as he rose up from the floor.

The guard said you are free
as he took the chains off his wrist,
Go home to your family,
you've surely been missed.

He stood there amazed
as he heard those words spoke,
This can't be true
it must be a joke.

The jailer explained
how the judge had shown grace
By sending his own son
to die in his place.
V
But, his son was innocent,
so how could this be?
I'm the one guilty
they should have killed me!

You may think
that this is a tale
but I know it's true'
God sent His son Jesus
to die for me and for you.
V
It should have been us
that hung on that cross,
But God loves us so
that He took the loss.

If you don't believe me
read John 3:16
It's the most amazing grace
that I've ever seen.

In God's very own words
the message is clear,
He gave up His Son
cause He holds us so dear.
