first note

           A                             D
He paid a debt He did not owe, I owed a debt I could not pay,
          A                        E
I needed someone to wash my sins away.
           A                                D
And now I sing a brand new song; “Amazing Grace” all day long
              A                 E              A
Christ Jesus paid the debt that I could never pay.

 A                              D
Little by little, day by day, Step by step every inch of the way
    A                 E
My Jesus is changing me (He’s changing me)
 A                             D
Since I did a turn about face, I’ve been walking in His grace
    A         E       A
My Jesus is changing me.

               A               D
He’s changing me--My precious Jesus;
             A                 E
I’m not the same person that I used to be
            A               D
It’s been slow going, but still I’m knowing
      A       E            A
That someday perfect I’ll be.
