AMAZING GRACE saved this wretch! Story of the greatest hymn ever 

Thankyou, Luke, for your research. May all her sing these words come to understand the fullness of that sweet word, grace.

I , A great sinner , My LORD , My GREAT SAVIOR ✝️🩸🙏🏻🙌

In late 1988 when my Dad was dying, this hymn was placed in my mother's hands by a Salvation Army Officer. She placed something in my hand also, but I could not bring myself to even look at it. Dad had been brought up as Church of England, but in spite of a simple faith, he really did not know he could be saved and so was fighting death in fear. I've always loved music, especially hymns, and when Mum said, "Oh Harold, it's your favourite hymn", I got up, took it from her hands and stood by his side and then sang it to him. He began to calm down and look at the ceiling. I had previously prayed, "LORD give him a vision of yourself?" I had been a nurse and watched many people die. Those who were Christians and saw the LORD did what Dad did: He raised his hands towards heaven. I then quoted Psalm 23 not knowing it too was one of his favourites. His hands and arms were stretched upward and his eyes wandered over the ceiling as if seeing not only the LORD Jesus, but innumerable angels. Mum was stressed about this and tried to get him to lower them, but I asked her not to as I believed he saw the LORD. In fact, I felt like we were intruders into a very special heavenly event. To this day I believe my darling father was fully redeemed that day and passed away later in the night. I love this hymn and the joy the LORD gave me to bless my Dad before his passing into glory. May God bless your ministry as you have certainly blessed me and probably many many others. I can no longer sing as I have a lung condition. However, Christian music and especially hymns lifts my heart and soul in worship. Thank you Father for Luke and the ministry you have given him, In Jesus Christ's name. Amen

When I was a teenager my pastor referred to Amazing Grace as the granddaddy of all hymns. Thanks be to God for his grace revealed in Jesus Christ

Excellent. I live half an hour's drive from Olney and have visited the museum and church there. From July 2022 to July 2023, the town commemorated the 250th anniversary of Amazing Grace.

I love this song. It is my all time favorite. I have heard it at many funerals, but I think it's a song for all occasions.

This is my favourite hymn, followed by Nearer My God to Thee. My mom can’t listen to it because it was played at my grandfather’s and uncle’s funeral. So I get it. But I absolutely love it, and the story behind it.

😊Such a wonderful story of conversion.

What a powerful story,thanks for sharing. We always sing this song almost every Sabbath,God's grace is our theme and shall be our theme for eternity. 🙏🏿

Thank you for sharing the history of these beautiful hymns with us

I love it. Speaks of how great God's love is. Shows that no matter how much we have sinned, Jesus saves us, if we return to God in humble faith and confess our sins. God is faithful and he keeps his promises

It is beautiful.

I love this song dearly,!!!

Again , thank you my. Brother ❤️‍🩹❤️💝✝️🙏🏻👏🏻🙌

Amazing Grace, what a powerful song that pulls at the heart strings in all that hear its message, thank you again for your ministry that comes from the heart. m.a. in Az

I especially like the line I was blind but now I see! Actually I like all the lines! It really resonates with me personally!

Oooh. That was just so special. Thank you. This is just such a very special song. Inspiring, uplifting, encouraging and challenging with a wonderful Melody.

He, Jesus is 😮my Redeemer and King He is my everything

Thanks

I always loved this song, thank you Pastor for sharing this with us.

Lovely! I love the missing verses and it is a pity that they have been left out. Thank you so much for sharing Luke. God bless this beautiful ministry 🙏 💕

I've heard the unpopular verses in the newer version (My chains are gone). Yes, sing all verses. Love 'em.

I love it & love to sing it when no one is around to hear me. The Lord probably puts cotton wool in His ears!!

I love amazing grace, because it is amazing that God could save a child like me. Thank you Lord Jesus

Love it. ❤
