Amazing
Kenny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Amazi-ing Grace, how-ow sweet the-e sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I'm found
I-I was blind, but now, I see

T'was Grace that taught my-why heart to fear
And Grace, my fears re-e-elieved
How precious did tha-at Grace appear
Oh-oh the hour I first be-elieved

When we've, when we've been there
Lord, ten thou-ousand year-ears
Bright shining, bright shining as the su-un
We've no le-ess days to sing Go-od's praise
Then when, we first be-egun





We've no less days to sing Go-od's praise
Then when we first begun

Overall Meaning

In Kenny Rogers's rendition of the classic hymn "Amazing Grace," the poignant lyrics reflect on the transformative power of grace. The song opens with imagery of the "sweet" sound of grace that saved "a wretch," emphasizing the idea that grace is available to all, regardless of their past mistakes or perceived unworthiness. The singer acknowledges that they were once lost, but have been found by grace, and they use the metaphor of blindness to describe their previous state of being. However, with the help of grace, they are now able to see clearly.


The second verse shifts the focus to the singer's personal experience with fear and relief. They claim that it was grace itself that both instilled fear in their heart and then amazed them by relieving those very fears. This paradoxical idea underscores the power of grace to inspire transformative personal growth. The singer concludes by musing on the eternal nature of grace and the unending nature of praise for God, emphasizing that this powerful force will remain present for all time.


Overall, the song's themes of redemption, transformation, and the power of God's grace have made it a beloved hymn for centuries, and Kenny Rogers's rendition brings its message to a new generation.
