Christian Gospel Song

CHANGED LIKE A BUTTERFLY
ONE AUTUMN DAY I WATCHED, A CATERPILLAR CLIMB A TREE. HE WRAPPED HIMSELF IN SILKEN THREAD, SAFE FROM THE WORLD WAS HE THEN WINTER CAME WITH COLD AND RAIN, BUT HE WAS SAFE INSIDE, AND WITH THE SPRING A MIRACLE GOD MADE A BUTTERFLY
(CHORUS)
AMAZING GRACE, HOW CAN IT BE? OH, PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME, HE WRAPPED ME IN HIS THREADS OF LOVE, I'LL NEVER BE THE SAME, ONE BLESSED DAY, I'LL SEE HIS FACE, HE'LL SPLIT THE EASTERN SKY! THEN WITH HIS SHOUT, I'LL FLY AWAY, CHANGED LIKE A BUTTER FLY.
(VERSE 2)
MY LIFE WAS RUINED, I HAD NO HOPE; A HELL-BOUND ROAD I TROD. BUT THEN I MET THE SAVIOUR, THE BLESSED SON OF GOD. HE'S CHANGED MY LIFE, I'VE BEEN SET FREE FROM THIS OLD WORLD OF SIN, IN HIM A NEW CREATION I HAVE BEEN BORN AGAIN. (CHORUS)
YES, WITH HIS SHOUT, I'LL FLY AWAY, CHANGED LIKE A BUTTER FLY.
AMAZING GRACE, HOW CAN IT BE? OH, PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME, HE WRAPPED ME IN HIS THREADS OF LOVE, I'LL NEVER BE THE SAME, ONE BLESSED DAY, I'LL SEE HIS FACE, HE'LL SPLIT THE EASTERN SKY! THEN WITH HIS SHOUT, I'LL FLY AWAY, CHANGED LIKE A BUTTER FLY.
(VERSE)
THE BIBLE TELLS OF MYSTERIES, AND HOW WE'LL ALL BE CHANGED, MORTAL TO IMMORTAL, IT CANNOT BE EXPLAINED, BUT I SHALL BE LIKE JESUS AND REIGN WITH HIM ON HIGH. -'* HOW CAN I DOUBT HIS PROMISES? I'VE SEEN A BUTTERFLY.
(CHORUS)
AMAZING GRACE, HOW CAN IT BE? OH, PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME, HE WRAPPED ME IN HIS THREADS OF LOVE, I'LL NEVER BE THE SAME, ONE BLESSED DAY, I'LL SEE HIS FACE, HE'LL SPLIT THE EASTERN SKY! THEN WITH HIS SHOUT, I'LL FLY AWAY, CHANGED LIKE A BUTTER FLY.
(TAG) YES, WITH HIS SHOUT, I'LL FLY AWAY, CHANGED LIKE A BUTTER FLY.

I remember a group coming to Buford Grove and singing this when I was a child sitting beside my great grandmother Cora Johnson. Thank you so much for the sweet reminder of a great time in my life.

Jimi Buck is my aunt. She went home to be with the Lord in May 21000.She wrote several songs. You may be able to find a CD at a bible book store. She traveled all over with her family. They were called the singing buck family.

The Buck Family came and sang at my church at least 40 years ago and I bought a tape with "Changed Like a Butterfly" on it. I still remember them singing the song and one of the members interpreting in sign languaget. It was beautiful. I gave the tape to my mother. She loved the song and wanted it played at her funeral. However, she had loaned the tape to another church member who was never able to find it. After her death I found the LP record of "Changed Like a Butterfly" in her things but it is very scratchy. I still listen to it occasionally because it reminds me so much of her. I would love to have a good copy of the record or a tape if anyone knows where I could find one.

Does anyone know where I can find the music for this song? I'm the music director at a church, and one of the lovely gentlemen in my choir brought the lyrics to me and said "Can you find sheet music or a track to this? It reminds me so much of my mother."

Hi... I played the piano for The Singing Buck Family for many years. We recorded the album with Changed Like A Butterfly as the headliner. It's been many years but sometimes I will just sit down at my piano and playthrough some of the songs we used to do when we ministered. Thank you for the stroll down memory lane.
