amazement of unbelief..

Someone has written an alternative to the hymn, 'Amazing Grace'. It's called the song of the non-convert… and it goes like this:

Amazing grace, how strange the thought, of trying to reach me.
I am quite lost, but won't be found. And blind, but will not see.
'Twas grace that tried to make me fear. And grace would then relieve.
But precious things are all ignored. So now, I don't believe.
Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come.
'Tis grace who's brought me safe thus far, but I am strangely dumb.
When you’ve been there, ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun
Perhaps I'll see the call I'd missed, and wish I'd too begun.
