It was a Sunday morning in 1989 in Phoenix, Arizona.
I was standing at the front of the sanctuary at the Lincoln Heights Christian Church in Phoenix, Arizona waiting to preach and tears were streaming down my face—not just a few tears, but streams.
For one of the few times in my life I was worshipping God when instruments of music were being used. I had always felt guilty when doing so. Not that day.
My chains were gone and I had been set free. I love the songs of the church. I love to sing without the use of instruments. I now also love to sing with the use of instruments.
I love to praise God!
Amazing grace—my chains are gone. I have been set free! Praise His blessed Name!
(Listen to the first song on my playlist, Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Broken) by ChrisTomlin. It will help you praise Him!)
Wonderful thoughts Clif, I remember when I first heard Chris Tomlin's Amazing Grace sung, it moved me to tears because I too am amazed by God's grace for me. I have always loved every version of the song and why it was written, it's first on my list.
