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
The Lord hath promised good to me,
  His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
  As long as life endures.
4
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 first begun.

This song was played on the bagpipes at my grandfather's funeral back in 1994 as his grandsons formed a guard of honour and walked beside him to his resting place and even now I still shead a tear.

The most beautiful hymn I've ever heard. Means so much to me and a lot of other people for a lot of reasons. It soothes your soul.

Anthony,

Yashiya is another form of Jesus or Yeshua.

Ahiya is another spelling of Ahaya, which is translated as I Am.

I will be singing Amazing Grace at my friend's funeral this Friday. I feel honored to be asked and I hope I hope I can do justice to this great, healing song.

I remember when I used to sing this song as a kid.

I've really lost track.

Have Mercy On Me LORD and Let Your Grace Be Sufficient For Me.

We are familiar with the hymn "Amazing Grace." Although this is a good hymn, it does not speak of the Triune God as our portion for our enjoyment. When this hymn was written, the experiential knowledge of God among the Lord's people had not come to this point. Even as recent as fifty years ago, Christians did not have the understanding of grace as the Triune God experienced and enjoyed by us. But standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before us, we have come to know that grace is far more than merely unmerited favor. Grace is the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—processed for our experience and enjoyment.
