Amazing Grace, Verse 2

He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. Psalm 103:10-13

Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

I've been debating whether or not to continue including links to videos of performances of the songs I post. My original intention was -- and still is -- to emphasize the lyrics, not the music. I don't know about you, but for me the music can sometimes overshadow the words. Especially if it's particularly well-written or well-performed. However, finding a good performance on YouTube is a lot of fun for me, and I often learn more about the song that way -- if, for instance, the lyrics are set to a different tune than I'm used to. So I reckon I'll keep on posting links to videos, at least here on the blog. I'm not sure if it would be appropriate or acceptable to do that on Instagram, so I won't do it there.
