Amazing Grace

1. Amazing grace! How sweet the soundThat 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 snaresI 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 beAs long as life endures.5. Yea, when this heart and flesh shall fail,And mortal life shall cease,I shall possess within the vail,A life of joy and peace.6. The world shall soon dissolve like snow,The sun refuse to shine;But God, who called me here below,Shall be forever mine.

The World Games, first held in 1981, are an international multi-sport event, meant for sports that are not contested in the Olympic Games.

The World Games are organised and governed by the International World Games Association (IWGA), under the patronage of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Some of the sports that were on the program of the World Games eventually made it as Olympic sports (such as triathlon) or have been Olympic sports in the past (like tug of war).

Participation in past World Games is included in the evaluation criteria used to select new Olympic sports adopted by the IOC on August 12, 2004.

However, with the current position of the IOC to limit the Olympic Games to 10,500 participants, it is unlikely that many of the World Games sports will be elevated to the Olympic sports.
