Guitar chords 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.

All these pieces

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

I've been set free
                        
Em

Laying Yourself down
                              
Em
                
C
 
Raising up the broken to life
                          
Em
 
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
 
I'll be Your vessel
