Songs of Faith - Amazing Grace

Our friend Dr Kevin Kwok read that I was not sleeping well because of aches and pains. When he said he was coming over with something to help me sleep, I thought he was bringing me some sedatives. Instead, he surpised me with a rug made of Farabloc - supposed to relieve aches and pains - not quite sure if it'll work but it's worth a try. You can Google find out more info about Farabloc.

I've used the rug for 2 nights now, sleeping better but a bit restless in the night. So still a bit heavy lidded in the day.

Kevin also shared with me his latest favourite song - Amazing Grace (My chains are off). It's the same hymn with new tune and an additional chorus added. Lyrics below and you can hear it on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyFxArMeRDI. Beautiful hymn that never ceases to touch my heart.

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

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 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
