frogman thanks for posting that Amazing Grace by Wynton. It made my day.
Its amazing that simple hymn, within the context of all the complex music all over the world from classical to blues, from blues to jazz and rock and hip hop, is, and always will be one of the greatest statements of humanity
It is never to late to change your life and be humbled to rise above no matter what your religious beliefs may be.
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.
’Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear,
And Grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come.
’Tis Grace hath brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His Word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.
