  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
  ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
  And grace my fears relieved
  How precious did that grace appear
  The hour I first believed

  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
  Amazing grace

  The Lord has promised good to me
  His word my hope secures
  He will my shield, my potion be
  As long as life endures

  My chains are gone, I’ve been set free…

  The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
  The sun forbear to shine
  But God who called me here below
  Will be forever mine, will be forever mine
  You are forever mine

  My chains are gone, I’ve been set free…
  My chains are gone, I’ve been set free…
  And like a flood His mercy reigns
  Unending love
  Amazing grace
  Lord, forgive all (altogether)
  Praise God, praise God
  Praise God, praise God
  Praise God, praise God
  Praise God

  
  A Demon-Possessed Man Healed

  1 Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes. 2 And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 3 who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, not even with chains, 4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains. And the chains had been pulled apart by him, and the shackles broken in pieces; neither could anyone tame him. 5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.

  6 When he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him. 7 And he cried out with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God that You do not torment me.”

  8 For He said to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!” 9 Then He asked him, “What is your name?”
  And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion; for we are many.” 10 Also he begged Him earnestly that He would not send them out of the country.

  11 Now a large herd of swine was feeding there near the mountains. 12 So all the demons begged Him, saying, “Send us to the swine, that we may enter them.” 13 And at once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea.

  14 So those who fed the swine fled, and they told it in the city and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that had happened. 15 Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been demon-possessed and had the legion, sitting and clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. 16 And those who saw it told them how it happened to him who had been demon-possessed, and about the swine. 17 Then they began to plead with Him to depart from their region.

  18 And when He got into the boat, he who had been demon-possessed begged Him that he might be with Him.
