Lyrics by Dottie Rambo, to the tune of Danny Boy

“Amazing Grace” shall always be my song of praise

For it was grace that bought my liberty

I do not know just why He came to love me so

He looked beyond my fault and saw my need.

I shall forever life mine eyes to Calvary

to view the cross where Jesus dies for me

How marvelous the grace that caught my falling soul

He looked beyond my fault and saw my need.

1960s.  I grew up on Dottie Rambo’s music.  This was the anthem of our hearts.  A haunting melody, a soul’s reflection, a cry of worship to the One.  How marvelous the grace…How marvelous that He looks beyond my fault…
