I’ll Fly Away
Verse 1
Some glad morning when this life is o’er
I’ll fly away
To a home on God’s celestial shore
I’ll fly away
Chorus
I’ll fly away O glory I’ll fly away
When I die hallelujah by and by
I’ll fly away
Verse 2
When the shadows of this life have grown
I’ll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars has flown
I’ll fly away
Verse 3
Just a few more weary days and then
I’ll fly away
To a land where joys shall never end
I’ll fly away
Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)
Verse 1
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
Verse 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
Chorus
My chains are gone I’ve been set free
My God my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love amazing grace
Verse 3
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
Chorus
My chains are gone I’ve been set free
My God my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love amazing grace
Verse 4
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
