Amazing Grace


“Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, Was none so blind, but now I see.” John Newton


Without Grace, nothing can exist.
Grace is the answer, the blessing, the key.
Without Grace, awakening from the egoic nightmare is impossible.
Is there any hope of Grace for you and me?

So gentle, this sweet Grace, so tender and forgiving, kinder than any mother;
So patient, across a thousand lifetimes, so compassionate and loving, across eternity;
Shining on sinner and saint, king and beggar, with perfect equality;
Fountain of life and love and joy, endless ocean of deep and blessed peace!

Heart-melting love and devotion are the doors to this divine nectar.
With total faith, seek the source of Grace in the Heart.
Dive deep into your own depths with great love and trust-
Make this your only prayer, your ecstatic path to infinity.

A sacred lotus blossoms in those depths –
At your touch, it enfolds you in its magic embrace!
Like a babe you are swaddled in blissful, loving Grace!
At last, you can let go and be at peace!
