That's the wonderful thing about our Heavenly Father, He desires those that worship Him, worship Him in spirit and Truth, ...in my spirit I can sing with the voice of Elvis! :dancing

Karl,
Here's the complete Hymn (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Amazing_Grace/)
  1. Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
    That saved a wretch like me!
    I once was lost, but now am found;
    Was blind, but now I see.
  2. ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
    And grace my fears relieved;
    How precious did that grace appear
    The hour I first believed.
  3. Through many dangers, toils and snares,
    I have already come;
    ’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
    And grace will lead me home.
  4. The Lord has promised good to me,
    His Word my hope secures;
    He will my Shield and Portion be,
    As long as life endures.
  5. Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
    And mortal life shall cease,
    I shall possess, within the veil,
    A life of joy and peace.
  6. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
    The sun forbear to shine;
    But God, who called me here below,
    Will be forever mine.
  7. When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
    Bright shining as the sun,
    We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
    Than when we’d first begun.
 
Thank you brother, that hymn has special meaning to me and one I play often on my keyboard (and no I don't have the voice of Elvis, far from it, I need a bucket to carry a tune in).

It's probably a good thing I don't sing because by the time I reach the seventh stanza tears are rolling down my cheeks, but when I contemplate when I've been there ten thousand years, ...imagine that, the wretch I am, I don't even deserve to be there at all, let alone ten thousand years, ...if I had to sing that I could never finish the song, it's hard enough just to keep playing.

Thank you Jesus!
 
Yeah we need the grace of God to do everything but saying Grace, Grace and have nothing in your life is also very dangerous.

Yeah, kind of like saying Christ, Christ, or God, God.............. Or as the Bible puts it.... saying, "Lord, Lord, didn't we do all sorts of good things in Your name?"

Yeah we did good things in Your name but for not for Your glory but for our glory and we took all the credit instead of giving what belonged to You.

We need the GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST to fellowship with him in prayer
We need the GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST to understand and bear fruit in what we read which is the Word of God.
We need the GRACE OF JESUS CHRIST to fellowship with others irrespective of their character, pride, financial status, opression, etc, etc

Now I'm a saved a person by the grace of God and I watched porn today and the Holy Spirit reminded me that that's not in line with the Word of God and after two days again I watch the porn knowing that God's grace will take care of everything. how do you solve this scenario?

The decisions which we take are necessary to live a saved life. Watching porn again and again because you think that the grace of God has already saved you and you will mind about it later on is jeopardizing your way to heaven.

Two scenarios I have found about the Grace of God.

1. God chose us to be a saved person and because of his abundant favour upon our lives we believe and live as a saved person.
2. If a saved person lives a sinful life then God will chastise him the form of tragedies like accidents, financial loses, severe diseases hence molding him breaking him bringing him into the obedience of God.

Third scenario I have found is

People who say grace, grace, grace and don't live in accordance to the obedience of His word and if God doesn't have any plan on their lives, they will keep on crying grace, grace sinning in their lives, debating and weakening the church of God and God doesn't care about them. They are on their way to hell.

Romans 6 came to mind as I read this post. Particularly these verses.
Romans 6: NKJV
1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?
2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!
16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?
