What a joy to locate the lyrics and recording on your website! This inspirational hymn will no doubt be sung for thousands of years in heaven and I am grateful to be counted in that chorus.
I am a violinist who has been playing for 5 years, and this is still one of my favourite songs to play on violin. Thank you Jesus for all that you've done for us!
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.
