Lyrics: Songs That Begin With "A"
-A-
A Child of the King - The Browns
Once I was clothed in the rags of my sins
CHORUS
(CHORUS)
Amazing Grace - Traditional Words, New Chords
Note: An interesting thing about "Amazing Grace" - It was written by John Newton (1705-1827), but the last verse "I was blind but now I see" wasn't written by him. It was added later, by someone who chose to remain anonymous!)
G G7 C Bm Am G
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear,
Through many dangers, toils and snares
The Lord has promised good to me.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
When we've been here ten thousand years
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
An Evening Prayer - Jim Reeves
If I have wounded any soul today,
If I have uttered idle words or vain,
If I have turned aside from want or pain,
If I have been perverse or hard, or cold,
Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee;
I was walking home from school on a cold winter's day
Connie Francis version:
prelude: C-Am-C7-F-Fmin-C
Et benedictus, benedictus
Ave Maria - Second version:
Ave Maria
Ave Maria - Third version:
C C6-G Am
: Benedicta tu in mulieribus G G G G7 C
: Ave Maria
Wretched and poor, lost and lonely within
But with wondrous compassion the King of all kings
In pity and love, took me under His wing.
Oh yes, oh yes, I'm a child of the King
His royal blood now flows in my veins
And I who was wretched and poor now can sing
Praise God, praise God, I'm a child of the King.
***************************************
Now I'm a child with a Heavenly Home
My Holy Father, has made me His own
And I'm cleansed by His blood, and I'm clothed in His love
And someday I'll sing with the angels above.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
G Em Am Am7 D7
That saved a wretch like me.
G G7 C Bm Am G
I once was lost but now am found,
G D7 G
Was blind, but now I see.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
If I have caused one foot to go astray,
If I have walked in my own willful way,
Dear Lord, forgive!
Lest I myself shall suffer through the strain,
Dear Lord, forgive!
If I have longed for shelter in Thy fold,
When Thou hast given me some fort to hold,
Dear Lord, forgive!
Forgive the secret sins I do not see;
O guide me, watch over me and my keeper be,
Dear Lord, Amen.
Took a shortcut through the woods and I lost my way
It was getting late and I was scared and alone
Then a kind old man took my hand and led me home
Mama couldn't see him, but he was standing there
But I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers
************************
CHORUS:
Oh I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love
************************
When life dealt troubled times and had me down on my knees
There's always been someone there to come along and comfort me
A kind word from a stranger to lend a helping hand
A phone call from a friend just to say I understand
Ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road
Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope
************************
CHORUS:
************************
They wear so many faces
Show up in the strangest places
Grace us with their mercy
In our time of need
************************
CHORUS:
To guide us with a light of love
C-Am-C7-F-Fm

Gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Ave, ave dominus

Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus
Ventris tuae, Jesus.

Mater Dei
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus
Ora pro nobis
Ora, ora pro nobis peccatoribus
Nunc et in hora mortis
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Et in hora mortis nostrae
