Thank you Lord Jesus, no words can adequately praise, or thank you for your Amazing grace. You made me all that I am. Thank you Jesus, for loving me, when I didn't love myself. Thank you for believing in me, when I didn't believe in anything. Thank you for the Cross, Lord, and your nail pierced hands, which bore my sin. Lord, thank you for forgiving me. great is the name of Jesus. Who among the Gods is like you, Lord? Lord, thank you. I love you Jesus!
gonkiluagon: Actually he DIDN'T compose the song, he only wrote the lyrics! It is a traditional EFIK song from NIGERIA. During his involvement in slavery, he heard the captured slaves singing the song in our native language. When he renounced slavery and became a Christian, he wrote the words to the NATIVE TUNE, and then started his anti-slavery campaign, but it is a TRADITIONAL EFIK SONG, with Anglicized. lyrics
No he didn't...he only wrote the words. It's a traditional EFIK song of lamentation from Calabar, Nigeria. He heard the captured slaves singing it, and wrote his own words. But he most certainly DIDN'T compose the tune.
this is an absolutely beautiful, and moving tribute not only to this song, or John Newton, but to every human being who has ever sung it, heard it, found comfort or inspiration from it with joy, and tears, through triumph and sorrow. thank you for sharing this song. it shows the power of amazing grace.
This video and the several most recent comments have truly impacted me. Heavy, but good; sad, but blessed; and a bit overwhelmed, but empowered&(like "regas95 - crying") I have alot to share on this please excuse the ramble... Accidentially [but not by chance, obvious2 me] I landed here, I really needed to. No doubt to me {I'm sure Mr Newton would agree} who actually wrote A.G. As4me -His work oftens come with most pwer when though other people. I've gained insight & call2action THx all!
25 years ago I did not believe in God or his Grace, there was no way, I had a very large street drug habit and a bottle of whiskey a day. Then one morning I took an inventory a saw that I became something I never set out to be. I fell to my knees and said God help me, I have been clean and sober ever since. God help us all.

An amazing transformation that God gave Mr. Newton who in turn gave the world this song for the ages. If George Wallace. God's forgiveness is very powerful and always there. It is our forgiveness of those who hurt us that is so difficult. bt
Thank God for His grace, His goodness and loving kindness. Where would we be without the mercy and unfailing love of God as seen in Jesus Christ? I know that I would be very sick or dead today if it were not for Him. It is only by His grace that I am alive, healthy and well today and that I have a hope for the future. Each day He is with me and comforts me with His loving kindness.
Father, I pray that you use me in ways of your master plan... This past weekend, I bowed down and cried when this song was sung. I thank you for putting your only Son, Jesus Christ on the cross for me, for my sins... I thank you, I Love you with all my heart!
If I may, I would just like to say also that we ALL deserve to go to hell. But God loved us so much, that he sent Jesus Christ to become our scapegoat. To pay our debt. God`s forgiveness was not cheap. John 3 v16...the most beautiful 25 words ever put together.
Before I came to know the story of this song, I did not feel so attached and moved. However, after knowing it, I strongly and more convinced that the God I believe is an awesome God. He never leaves us nor forsakes us no matter what we have done. Thank You God for such wonderful gift. May all people come to know you in a powerful way.
God gives life, through his Grace, I have that Grace, and life, and I can never repay him, forever in his debt, I hope you find it wherever or who ever you are. just go to him and pray for it.
everytime i hear this song i want to cry i wish the world was peaceful and come together and love god with out a war god is probably up there saying why does it have to be this way why cant they come together in 1 church hold hands and worship me
This song makes me cry every time I hear it. Wow, how i hope that the world will feel the love Jesus gives.
To those who read this and don't know God- please ask Jesus to open your eyes and hearts, and you too will weep from joy and love. He will not desert you; just call on Him.
He will protect you. God loves you and me. Just call on Him!!! And you will have your chains broken too. Just call on Him.
I have seen AMAZING GRACE thanks to GOD !!! This song I play every time I take a test in collage and thanks to AMAZING GRACE I don't fail no more. I could not pass tests before because of test anxiety now I get A,s THANKS GOD !!!
I was toll he was actually saved by the slaves, or black people he had traded once... and that was how he realized they were people like him, with spirit and soul.
God asks nothing of you other than to call on the name of Jesus and in that he offers you his grace...his spirit leads you to learn his word and live a righteous life...it is his will that not one soul is lost...call on the name of the Lord, invite him into your heart and a realtionship with him. You will not regret it if you do it with your heart!
God grâce applied to even the worse sinners,and i am happy he manifest it to me.
and that's his grâce who leads me in this journey,i've failled Him many times but even though His grâce never fail me, He always answer and deliverred me.
Awesome video. Totally awesome. I hadn't heard the part about my chains are gone until tonight. Was that part of the original song or was that added later?
This version is by Chris Tomlin. He added in the "My chains are gone..." part. He also brought back one of the original verses often left out in this hymn - "The earth shall soon dissolve like snow...". Yeah, great song!
The "mainstream churches " removed some of the original lyrics for fear of offending the more sensitive of the congregation the omitted lyrics are fnding there way back into the fold in the "charismatic or pentacostal" churches
Thanks for John Newton for written this Song. So we can shout out...AMAZING GRACE!!!
