Chris Tomlin - Amazing Grace

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

Chorus:
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

Chorus(x2)

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


This afternoon, my colleague asked me if I have "Amazing Grace" song that I can share with him and so I did. I told him that there are many singers who did their own version of this song and he asked who is the original singer. I really do not know who the original singer is, but I told him that John Newton wrote this hymn in 1779 but Newton is not a singer (I think).

There's a line "I once was lost, but now I'm found" in this song that I can relate an incident with. Two weeks ago, I lost my employee tag and did not report to the office admin because I did not want to pay the hefty fine of RM100 and I was confident that I can find it back.

I went back to the place where I had lunch before I think I lost it and also looked in my colleague's car which I sat on to go lunch that day. The result was negative and I kept on praying that a good samaritan will return it to the company. But today, I was looking for my car key in my office drawer and I saw something between the drawer and my table.

I pulled it out and I was so happy I have finally found my ID!! I told a few of my colleagues that I found it and I was smiling all the way home. I was so happy that I could buy everyone a drink or even a meal!

That could be just how God feels and how the angels celebrate when a person finally acknowledge that Jesus is the Lord of his or her life.

Now let me just make sure that my ID is kept properly in my bag..

Daily Anthem

I'm listening to 89.5 KTSY, and the song "Today is the Day" by Lincoln Brewster is playing.

I like this song so much (I made it my Birthday song last year) and I wish that I can blast this song every morning when I'm getting ready for a new day. Thank God for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday!

Lincoln Brewster - Today is the Day

I'm casting my cares aside
I'm leaving my past behind
I'm setting my heart and mind on You, Jesus

I'm reaching my hand to Yours
Believing there's so much more
Knowing that all You have in store for me is good, it's good

Today is the day You have made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
Today is the day You have made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
And I won't worry about tomorrow
I'm trusting in what You say
Today is the day
Today is the day

I'm putting my fears aside
I'm leaving my doubts behind
I'm giving my hopes and dreams to You, Jesus

I'm reaching my hands to Yours
Believing there's so much more
Knowing that all You have in store for me is good, it's good

I will stand upon Your truth
(I will stand upon Your truth)
And all my days I'll live for You
(And all my days I'll live for You)


Such a happy song. We were just driving in Eagle, Idaho (yes, with all the scenic mountains, clear blue sky and everything nice) and this song playing on the radio just made it more fun to drive! Everyday is a gift from God and He made each day good for all of His children.

Thank You for each new day that You give us!
