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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/chris_tomlin/amazing_grace_my_chains_are_gone.html ]
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
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
I think when people say hateful things that have no scriptural backing, to make their convictions go away are the ones that need to hear these songs. They need to make it a prayer to have their chains removed so they are not held down by legalistic views that keep them from experiencing the true grace of god. I am thankful that god's grace has helped me to be released from all sorts of spiritual bondage. "and whoever wants to be first must be your slave--just as the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. " matthew 21:27-28 thank you chris tomlin for letting god use your gift to free people up from there bondage.

This song minister itself knowing that god has done everything and he has bought us at a price but for us to receive that freedom or that truth is by entering the door which is jesus christ. In every time when i'm facing things in life i know that god never leaven nor forsake me and this song is always comes into my mind telling me that everything is alright , god has done everything in life for me so it is finished
