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

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.
