A beautiful song, I love it even more when played on the bagpipe. A single piper does the first refrain then the whole massed pipers (Black Watch and Highlanders) join. I play it as part of my prep to officiate a football game.

This was sung at my husband’s funeral after he died on 4th june 2020 funeral 8th june
Purvis, MS, United States
My Dad loved this song. It was his favorite. I remember him telling me the story of the Atlantic slave trader/ priest/ hymn writer, writing this song upon converting his life to Jesus during a bad storm at sea. I had it played at his funeral when he passed on August 20th 2019.

The lyrics of "Amazing Grace" are powerful and are a great witness and tremendous testimony. I've put the lyrics to the tune of "Jimmy Crack Corn" using a calypso rhythm and the whole song takes on this joyful, optimistic, and celebratory feel. I love the original melody, but give this a try and I think you'll sing it with celebration and a holy smile on your face. Now, don't knock it til you try it. Happy Singing!
Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
I accepted Christ in 1979 at Indiana University, Bloomington, IN. My roomate would play "Amazing Grace" on his guitar in a key we could all sing, I learned to worship through by singing Amazing Grace. It is my favorite song. I recommend the book about JN, John Newton, from Disgrace to Amazing Grace, J Aitken.
Love this song
It really shows how much God loves us
Middletown, Ohio, United States
I am only here due to God's Amazing Grace. I am humbly grateful. He is my Savior through His suffering, Jesuffering, death, burial, resurrection and then ascension into heaven where he interceded for us daily and awaits God's call to go get His children which I am grateful to be one of.
