Through Many Dangers Toils and Snares
Amazing Grace was written by John Newton as a New Year's song. It's original title, which I like quite a bit better, was "Faith's Review and Expectation." The idea was to sing out the previous year by looking back at all that God had led you through (that's faith's review); and to look ahead to the next year with hope for more of God's grace (that's faith's expectation). It's a wonderful idea, and we have made it our practice at New City to have it be our last song to close the year, and first song of the new year -- bookending the year signing about his grace.
