Andrew M. Pecuch

Amazing grace shall always be
my song of praise,
for it was grace
that brought my liberty;
I do not know just why
He came to love me so,
He looked beyond my faults
and saw my need.
I shall forever lift mine eyes
to Calvary to view
the cross where Jesus died for me.
How marvelous the grace that
caught my falling soul,
He looked beyond my fault
and saw my need
