Amazing Grace
Eternal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Amazing.
Amazing.
Amazing.
Amazing.

Amazing grace.
How sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost,
But now am found.
Was blind, but now I see.

Amazing grace.
Shall always be my song of praise,
For it was grace that brought my liberty.
I'll never know,
Just why Christ came to love me so.
He looked beyond my faults, and saw my need.

Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.




Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Eternal's song "Amazing Grace" speak of the overwhelming feeling of grace and salvation that the singer has experienced. The recurring use of the word "amazing" emphasizes the beauty and awe-inspiring nature of this grace, which the singer acknowledges has saved them from being a "wretch."


The verse then goes on to describe how this grace has transformed the singer's life, taking them from a state of being lost and blind to being found and able to see. This transformation is not something the singer can take credit for, as it was grace that brought them their liberty.


The chorus emphasizes how thankful the singer is for this grace, declaring that it will always be their "song of praise." The final lines of the verse speak to the singer's sense of unworthiness, acknowledging that they will never understand why Christ would love them so much. The song ends with the joyful exclamation of "Hallelujah," a word that conveys gratitude and praise.
