WHAT IS THE AMAZING GRACE PROJECT?

"Amazing Grace" is probably the most well-known hymn of all time.  Many people, religious or not, are at least familiar with the first verse:

​

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.

​

For over 200 years*, "Amazing Grace" has shown how music and word can stir the hearts and minds of people towards the meaning of their existence and, ultimately, to the God who created them.

​

Recently, we've asked a number of our musical friends to send us videos of themselves singing and playing "Amazing Grace."   This project is developing a collection of "Amazing Grace" videos performed in all kinds of styles, recorded by diverse musicians from around the world.​
