Keth and Dr Light moved
their Healing Center Sanctuary from Maui Hawaii to Florida in 2000,
after his mother "Grace"
passed on December 5, 1999 leaving them her house...which became the "House of
Grace." So
in honor of his mother "Grace"
and the Grace of God
we now call our Church the "House of Grace".
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.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.
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.

John
Newton, Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779). Exception: the last
stanza is by an unknown author; it appeared as early as 1829 in the Baptist
Songster, by R. Winchell (Wethersfield, Connecticut), as the last stanza of
the song “Jerusalem My Happy Home.”
Music: “New Britain,” in Virginia Harmony, by James P. Carrell and David S. Clayton (Winchester, Virginia: 1831) (MIDI, score).
This is probably the most popular hymn in the English language, a television documentary was even made about it. Perhaps it is because its words so well describe the author: John Newton was a slave trader before coming to Christ.
