Rendition of popular Christian hymn Amazing Grace by Cecilia, a Classical crossover singer, who originally comes from Norway.
John Newton is the author of the lyrics to Amazing Grace. Despite the powerful message of "Amazing Grace," Newton's religious beliefs initially lacked conviction; his youth was marked by religious confusion and a lack of moral self-control and discipline.
Newton's lyrics have become a favourite for Christians, largely because the hymn vividly and briefly sums up the doctrine of divine grace. The lyrics are based on 1 Chronicles 17:16-17, a prayer of King David in which he marvels at God's choosing him and his house.
Amazing Grace
Music: Traditional, Lyrics: John Newton
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a soul 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.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
It was grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
when i was 12 years old, i went to the church first time, and the first christian hymn i heard was it: ' amazing grace '.
thanks for bringing back my passed 40 years memories....
