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. |

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed! |

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

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. |

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.

When I first listened to this song by chance, I was touched very much by its lyrics and the words as well. Of such a wretch like me, He makes a son. Amazing grace to me!!! Each time I sing this hymn, it brings me not only gratefulness but also faith. It¡¦s He who becomes my HOPE and MEANING of life. I would never thank Him enough for placing me in such amazing grace day by day.

I play a Mt Dulcimer and it is one of my favorite Hymns that I've played and sung over the past years...... If you say the words to yourself and think it's what faith is now and will be. I'm 72 and Live in the Lord.

This song has played a vital role in my relationship with God. When I was baptised, baptised with the Holy Spirit, when I got married and on several other times. This is how I see the relationship between God, Jesus and mankind through His grace on Calvary.
I would like to sing this song one day in church.

What can be said about this age old favourite...nothing but my Jesus I love you and thank you for forgiving me of my sins. I think everyday of the amazing grace which I do not deserve and when I read the words I am drawn to the only place I belong, on my knees with a broken and contrite heart filthy wretch that I am.

To me, it's a song of HOPE. I've loved it since I was a child, and now it has double meaning for me, as I lost my beloved husband (a decorated, twice- wounded Marine)last April (2003), and at his full military service, I had Amazing Grace played by a lone Bagpiper,symbolizing (in my husband's ancestral Scotland) playing the spirit home to rest. It was truly beautiful and awe-inspiring. A friend sent me this wonderful site. Thank you for all this inspiration.

This song has always touched my heart but 3 years ago I had to lay my daughter to rest and this was the song played at her funeral. This was the song I HAD TO HAVE PLAYED.
This song reminds me of God's eternal love for mankind and I have much hope in His grace and mercies as long as I trust in Him to keep and guide me in life.
