We sing this song in our AA convention every year, it speaks to everyone differently of course, but as someone truly lost and now a believer in something greater than myself it is timeless and so heart felt it moves me to tears. GB

To The Family of Poet John Newton, he must be in double heaven to write such a heartfelt song from the entire vessel of the human body. GOD must have given him the right hand of fellowship when he entered the golden gates of the heavenly pearls.Mr. Newton must have had two hearts after GOD gave him a new one.
Austin, Texas, United States
Such a peace when hearing this song. A loved one of ours entered into Heavens gates with this song in her heart.
Statesville, NC, United States
Me and my family sang this song around my grandmother on her death bed... it brought us together as a family and more...
Richmond, Virginia, United States
I sang this to my dying father in hospice today. He is a man who will soon sit at the right hand of our Lord ✌️

The very best gospel song ever written.

Wretch. In the presence of the eternal ever-loving one I can be nothing but a wretch. In the presence of the eternal ever loving one is wholeness, light, life and hope. Thank You LORD.
Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa
Amazing Grace, how sweet? Really sweet beyond what human words could describe. This was the song that came to my heart as I woke up this morning, reminding me of the wonderful love of God to me. It's a love that is deep, high, wide and words cannot describe.

When I think of how Jesus left His glory to restory me back to the Father I cry and am humbled. What love.
Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States
This was my husband's favorite song. My nephew sang it at my husband's funeral this past
Monday. It has brought me more comfort than anything else. I know that my husband is with our Lord and Savior. And that one day we will be reunited. I'll live forever with my Lord and my husband.
