This is my favorite song and it's perfect, considering the story of my life. I also hear that I'm an amazing grace in Mari and Robert’s lives, so I'm sure they agree with me. And you knew it would be Elvis singing, didn't you?

It is a beautiful song if you are able to feel it; if you have experienced every one of these words. Sometimes experience is the only way to understand things. I wish you an amazing grace in your life.

Amazing Grace
(words & music by William J. Gaither, arr. Elvis Presley)

Amazing grace, oh how sweet the sound
That saved a wreck like me
I once was lost, though now I'm found
I was blind, but now I see
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Then when, when we first begun
Too many ages false and spent
I have already hung
This face and flock He saved us by
His endless grace will leave me whole
Amazing grace, oh how sweet the sound
To save a wreck like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
I was blind, but now I see
