Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)
'Twas grace that taught
my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)
My chains are gone, I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love

Mark 11:7-10; 15:11-14 (NLT)
11:9Jesus was in the center of the procession, and the people all around him were shouting, "Praise God! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the LORD! 10Blessings on the coming Kingdom of our ancestor David! Praise God in highest heaven!"
Mark 11:7-10; 15:11-14 (NLT)
15:11But at this point the leading priests stirred up the crowd to demand the release of Barabbas instead of Jesus. 12Pilate asked them, "Then what should I do with this man you call the king of the Jews?"
Mark 11:7-10; 15:11-14 (NLT)
15:13They shouted back, "Crucify him!" 14"Why?" Pilate demanded. "What crime has he committed?" But the mob roared even louder, "Crucify him!"
