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.
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!
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.
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.
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun.

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.
It is one that everyone loves and enjoys singing because of its graceful rythm and tone.
Because it shows how much God loves us, and displays the eternal blessing of His grace, power, mercy, beauty, love, and all His other truly amazing and divine qualities that only the one true God could have.
