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.

I thank God for taking me in under his wings
Because I as this song had been a wrench
And now I have see the light
God promise of heaven is the limits of my deeds
For as long as it take I await me time before him
In view of my Weir eyes and crushed spirit
Only to be saved again
Peace yall

Just as the title the song is amazing with abundant inspiring Grace more than sufficient for uplifting.

Whatever the reason my heart grabbed onto this hymn, today, in a serious way. I searched for its lyrics, impressed to share with a bunch of students. Here I am. The Power that touched this man's heart, opened his blinded eyes. The power opened my eyes to my helpless wretchedness. He is still doing the same work... making men free to Love... to Live.

A song I've known my whole life now means infinitely more to me because I've now lived out these words. An unforgettable moment in time where I encountered God for the very first time. This free gift of grace given to a poor wretch like me. Amazing doesn't even begin to describe it...

Seriously speaking, this song makes me feel spiritiually wise.
It comforts when I'm down.
Amazingly this song touches the heart from experience!
Not sure why so attracted by this hymn. I don't get tired of listening to it or come back to re listen. God's grace is just this amazing. We can't tell why but it attracts people. God, You created us, and let us go. We gained so much freedom that we drifted away from the source of life. People, anyone who wants to come back, it's simple, just need to turn back to God
