LYRICS:
1 Amazing grace (how sweet the sound)
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.

2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!

3 Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come:
'tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.

4 The Lord has promised good to me,
his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.

5 Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease:
I shall possess, within the veil,
a life of joy and peace.

6 The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
the sun forbear to shine;
but God, who called me here below,
will be forever mine.

John Newton (1725-1807) wrote the hymn “Amazing Grace” (1779) after his conversion to Christianity and abandonment of his career as a slave trader. Chris Tomlin read about the history of John Newton and reflected on the depth of the lyrics in their context of slavery. Out of this reflection, he had an epiphany: “So these words just started flowing one night—my chains are gone, I’ve been set free, my God, my savior, has ransomed me—” Tomlin breaks off here and describes the word ransom “—I was thinking about how you pay a ransom for a slave—” he continues reciting the lyrics:

‘and like a flood, his mercy reigns. Unending love, Amazing Grace.’ And so I wrote that little refrain, and started singing it out to the hymn, never thinking it was going to do anything!

Tomlin expresses gratitude and awe that his work has the honor of being associated with “probably the greatest song in the history of humanity,” and he joyfully recounts the stories people have shared with him about how the song had impacted them.

LYRICS:
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.

LYRICS:
It's a beautiful world we've been given
From the top of the sky to the ocean
I'll never understand it all (never understand it all)
It must be supernatural

It's a magical thing, a starry night
Feel, feel so small under a billion lights
I'll never understand it all (never understand it all)
It must be supernatural

Amazing life, amazing life
Flying higher than I've ever dreamed
From the top of the world, I could scream
Amazing life, amazing life

It's a colourful, colourful world painted so bright
Gonna walk on air, gonna take flight
I'll never understand it all (never understand it all)
It must be supernatural

I wanna drink, drink, drink every drop of sunshine
Got a smile on my face, I won't apologize
I'll never understand it all (never understand it all)
It must be supernatural

Amazing life, amazing life
Flying higher than I've ever dreamed
From the top of the world, I could scream
Amazing life, amazing life
You're the burning in my heart
That never dies, never dies
Without You here, my world is black and white
Black and white

Like a show without a stage
Like a storm without the rain
You're the One I can't replace
Need You by my side, need You by my side

Amazing life, amazing life
Amazing life, amazing life
Amazing life, amazing life

Flying higher than I've ever dreamed
From the top of the world, I could scream
Amazing life, amazing life
Amazing life, amazing life

this hymn islinked toRomans 5: But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

And can it be that I should gain
An int’rest in the Savior’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain—
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Refrain:
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
’Tis myst’ry all: th’ Immortal dies:
Who can explore His strange design?
In vain the firstborn seraph tries
To sound the depths of love divine.
’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
Let angel minds inquire no more.
He left His Father’s throne above—
So free, so infinite His grace—
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race:
’Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For, O my God, it found out me!
Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Thine eye diffused a quick’ning ray—
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine;
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach th’ eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

LYRICS:
When success is equated with excess
The ambition for excess wrecks us
As the top of the mind becomes the bottom line
When success is equated with excess

If your time ain't be nothing but money
I start to feel really bad for you, honey
Maybe honey, put you're money
Where your mouth's been running
If your time ain't be nothing but money

I want out of this machine
It doesn't feel like freedom

This ain't my American dream
I wanna live and die for bigger things
I'm tired of fighting for just me
This ain't my American dream

When success is equated with excess
When you're fighting for the Beamer, the Lexus
As the heart and soul breathing the company goals
Where success is equated with excess

I want out of this machine
It doesn't feel like freedom

This ain't my American dream
I wanna live and die for bigger things
I'm tired of fighting for just me
This ain't my American dream

'Cause baby's always talking 'bout a ring
And talk has always been the cheapest thing
Is it true?
Would you do what I want you to
If I show up with the right amount of bling?

Like a puppet on a monetary string
Maybe we've been caught singing
Red, white, blue and green
But that ain't my America
That ain't my American dream

This ain't my American dream
I wanna live and die for bigger things
I'm tired of fighting for just me
This ain't my American dream

Lyrics in Spanish and English:

Yo no naci, sino para quereros;
Mi alma os ha cortado a su medida;
Habito del alma misma, del alma misma os quiero.
Escrito esta en mi alma vuestro gesto;
Yo lo leo tan solo que aun de vos me guardo en esto.
Quanto tengo, confiesso yo de veros;
Y por vos naci, por vos tengo la vida,
Habito del alma misma os quiero.
Y por vos e de morir,
Y por vos muero.
Por vos.

You are the Love of my Soul

I was born to love only you;
My soul has formed you to its measure;
I want you as a garment for my soul.
Your very image is written on my soul;
Such indescribable intimacy, I hide even from you.
All that I have, I owe to you;
For you I was born, and for you I live,
I want you as a garment for my soul.
And for you I must die,
And for you I give my last breath.
For you.

LYRICS:
How I miss that old fashioned Christmas!
Carols being sung by the tree,
Window's candlelight shining bright for the whole world to see
Children's eyes of sweet expectations
Wondering what each present will hold
Lying in their beds and impatient
On long Christmas eves of old

It used to be that all the family would gather for this one night
It used to be that special feeling shared
together knowing Christmas was here one night a year

How I miss that old fashioned Christmas!
Memories that last through the years
Call me sentimental; don't mind if you do
I wish an old fashioned Christmas to you!

LYRICS:
Driftin' beneath the horizon
Body is weak but I'm tryin'
To make it to shore, but I'm fallin' short
I need You more
Wave after wave, I've been sinkin'
So unto Your promise I'm clingin'
You say that I'm strong, to You I belong
Keep holdin' on

You are my anchor
So steady me, steady me now
You are my anchor
You're keepin' my feet on the ground
In angry oceans You've never broken through
Every wave of the storm
You are my anchor
So steady me, steady me now
Come steady me, steady me now

When I get tired of findin'
All of the fears I've been hidin'
You gave me a breath and tell me to rest
You never left
I can, I can, I can hear You callin' me by name
Pullin' me up from under my shame
I'll never be the same
I can face anything, so let it rain

You are my anchor
So steady me, steady me now
You are my anchor
You're keepin' my feet on the ground
In angry oceans, You've never broken through
Every wave of the storm
You are my anchor
So steady me, steady me now
Come steady me, steady me now

Don't let go
I don't want to do this alone
Don't let go
I know I'll drown on my own

You are my anchor
So steady me, steady me now (Don't want to do this alone)
You are my anchor
You're keepin' my feet on the ground (Don't want to drown)
In angry oceans, You've never broken through
Every wave of the storm
You are my anchor
So steady me, steady me now
Come steady me, steady me now
