Amazing grace
How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
Singing hallelujah, there's no chains on me
Thank you, Jesus, You have set me free
You welcomed me in, called me by name
Was dead in my sin, now I'm dancing on that grave
Hallelujah, it really is amazing grace
It really is
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Singing hallelujah, there's no chains on me
Thank you, Jesus, You have set me free
You welcomed me in (You welcomed me in), called me by name (called me by name)
Was dead in my sin, now I'm dancing on that grave
Hallelujah, it really is amazing grace
It really is, It really is, it's amazing grace
I'll testify of what He did
He gave me life, I'm born again
My heart is free, my soul is saved
It really is amazing grace
I'll testify of what He did
He gave me life, I'm born again (born again)
My heart is free, my soul is saved
It really is amazing grace
It really is (it really is), it really is (oh, it really is)
It really is amazing grace (it's amazing grace)
It really is (it really is), it really is (oh, it really is)
Sing hallelujah
Hallelujah, there's no chains on me
Thank you, Jesus, You have set me free
You welcomed me in, called me by name
Was dead in my sin, now I'm dancing on that grave
Hallelujah, it really is amazing grace
It really is
It really is amazing grace
It really is, oh, it really is
It really is amazing grace, hey!

💡 Song Meaning & Background

The lyrics draw directly from biblical themes such as Ephesians 2:8‑9 and Romans 5:8, underscoring that salvation is a free gift of grace, not earned by works, and that this grace empowers Christians to live in gratitude and obedience. The song’s uplifting melody and repetitive refrain invite congregants to reflect on the profound, unmerited love that God extends to humanity.
