Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That saved a wretch like me
Well I once was lost but now I'm found
I was blind
But now I see
Twas grace
That taught my heart to feel
Our precious debt
That grace of his
When I, I first believed
When we've been there
Ten thousand years
Bright shining is the sound
Well we know the last day
I'll sing Gods sweet praise
And when we first begun
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
Well once was lost
Oh, but now I'm found
I was blind
But now I see
I was blind
But now I see
The song Amazing Grace by Miley Cyrus and Billy Ray Cyrus is a rendition of the classic hymn, which has been popular for over 240 years. The first stanza of the song expresses gratitude for the sweet sound of grace that saved a wretched soul, referring to the saving power of God's grace. The songwriter states that they were once lost, but now they are found. This phrase alludes to the Bible parable of the prodigal son who returns to his father, repenting for his past waywardness. The following line "I was blind, but now I see" is used as a metaphor for the transformative power of grace that enables an individual to see things clearly after a period of darkness.
In the second stanza, the songwriter continues to relate how grace has taught their heart to feel, and it has also relieved their fears. This phrase brings to mind the verse in 1 John 4:18, which states that “Perfect love casts out fear”. The songwriter then speaks of the precious debt that grace paid on their behalf and how they first believed when it was offered. The final stanza mentions the hope of a bright future and praises God for the grace that enables us to see His goodness. The repeated phrase, "I once was lost, but now I'm found" echoes throughout the song, emphasizing the transformative power of grace that brings salvation.
