Amazing Grace: A Deep Meditation on Redemption (1 Chronicles 17:16-17) | Christian Instrumental

Share!

Experience the profound peace of “Amazing Grace,” the world’s most beloved hymn. This soul-stirring instrumental arrangement is designed for prayer, meditation, and finding rest in God’s unshakable favor.
The Scriptural Foundation

While the hymn is a personal testimony, it is deeply rooted in the spirit of 1 Chronicles 17:16-17, where King David asks, “Who am I, O Lord God… that You have brought me this far?” It serves as a steadfast reminder that in every trial or season of peace, God’s grace remains our “shield and portion.”
The Story Behind the Hymn

Written by John Newton (1725–1807), a former slave trader who underwent a radical spiritual transformation, “Amazing Grace” is perhaps the most poignant declaration of redemption in history. This version includes the famous “ten thousand years” stanza, which was later attributed to John P. Rees (1828–1900), adding a triumphant perspective on eternity to Newton’s original verses.

Hymn Lyrics (Part I)

1
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.

2
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

3
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

Hymn Lyrics (Part II)

4
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

5
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun.
