Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) lyrics by Chris Tomlin

I'm so thankful to god everyday that he rescued me from the sin i was in. I just can't begin to express how much i love him. He is such an awesome father to me that i know if it wasn't for his grace and his love i would be forever lost w/o him. I'm so glad that when he saved me he released the chains of sin and bondage on my life, i thank him so much for where and what he has brought me from. PRAISE THE LORD FOREVER!!!

Buck, God is using Chris and his version of the song to reach so many people. We as Christians should support him by buying his CD's so that he can continue to do God's ministry. Also the original is still in public domain. It is my personal belief that both God and John Newton are pleased with the work Chris is doing. I will keep you in my prayers Buck.

you kno i have been through alot in my life && im only 16!!
umm.. i rele love this song && i almost cry every time i hear it..
mhm.. im always thinkin how can God love such a person like me?
pshh.. im a sinner && im not alone.. && i wanna thank God for every thing he has done for me && for saving my soul.. :]

It's funny I should read Buck's comment today. I was just reading the words to this song as the CD was playing, and at the end of the words, Chris Tomlin says: "I was doing some research on John Newton and the writing of the hymn, "Amazing Grace." John Newton wrote these lyrics as a poem for a sermon describing what God had done for him; that God has not only saved his soul, but also saved him from slave trading. That inspired me to write the simple refrain, "my chains are gone . . ." I also found it interesting that the familiar last verse, "when we've been there ten thousand years," was not in the original, but added years later by another author. I have included in this version Newton's original last verse. Chris Tomlin So, it seems someone else took liberties with this song many, many years ago.

Buck you need prayer and deliverance from your legalistic, under the law kind of thinking. I am sure the person who wrote the song Amazing Grace, would not feel the way you do. Amazing Grace, My Chains Are Gone, has ministered to many people, and Jesus said in his own words, those who are for us are not against us. Whose side are you own anyway?
