Broken Vessels

Amazing Grace was originally written by John Newton, a slave ship captain who converted to Christianity and became a priest. The lyrics talk about repentance and redemption. Chris Tomlin added a new verse to the song, giving it new life in contemporary Christian music.

Broken and scattered
                        Em  
In mercy gathered
                          G  
Mended and whole
                Em  
Empty handed
                             G  
But not forsaken

I've been set free
                                Em            D

You take our failure
                                  G  
You take our weakness
                                  Em  
You set Your treasure
                          G  
In jars of clay
                                  Em  
So take this heart, Lord
                                  G

Your life in me
