Amazing Grace - The Petersens (LIVE)

"Amazing Grace" is my favorite new song we are doing. Just singing the words is a beautiful reminder each and every show of the grace we have received and the promise we have to look forward to.

Thank you to everyone who sent in recordings of the final verse!!! We are so excited to feature hundreds of you on the album version of this song, I can't listen to it without tearing up. Don't forget to listen to the Dolby Atmos mixes on Apple Music, Amazon Music, or Tidal if you have the audio set up. It truly is the ultimate experience and you will feel like you are in the recording studio right there with us :)

►LYRICS - Amazing Grace
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

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
'Twas grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

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

We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun

*LYRICS - Amazing Grace*

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

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
'Twas grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

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

We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun

The album recording features a choir of over 500 of our YouTube and Patreon friends in the final verse!!

America, the world needs more Petersens.

I think if all Christians were to sing one song before the Lord to represent all of our love for him, it should be Amazing Grace. 🙏✝️👏

[carltwidle]

Absolutely beautiful. God saves people. I had an alcohol issue for years. I cried out to the good lord for help. I have never had a drop of alcohol since. Praise the lord.

[MarciaB]

This brought tears to my eyes. I was supposed to be a musician but life took a terrible turn. At least I can listen.

[andyclark]

The only bad part of this was that it ended. Loved every second of it.

[edhastie]

Ellen could sing the menu of the local diner and I would listen in amazement

[paulmann]

Hello from Gloucester, England. What a find. To hear you sing some of my favourites like 'Here comes the sun', and 'Annies song', and then to find you sing to praise the Lord. It dont get any better than this.

[sambowu]

I've Picked, Played, sung with Trios, quartets, Funerals, Weddings and and the Red, White and Bluegrass festival here, I've Picked 50+ yrs. and without a doubt, with the Dobro, Fiddle, doghouse bass, flat top, and you two, three singing, ,,, That's the probably the best I've ever heard Amazing Grace ! That feller playing Dobro, has got a Ear, ,, he'sa great dobro picker !

[richardjoy]

Grown man standing reduced to tears here on a Sunday morning. No reason other than the beauty of this.

[FuriousFred-pcer]

May GOD bless you today, tomorrow and ever more. Please keep singing.

[antidepressant]

Mum on double bass. That's the understated standout in this family.

[Pedro-hvgo]

Imagine the day where everything ends, the day after all wars, all suffering, all pain... and those who were persecuted on Earth, those who stayed off sin, those who died for Christ name, stop and praise Him in Heaven, in His almightyt throne! This song would be the perfect one to sing to our king! Maranatha O come back Jesus, we need you!

[karlsmith]

When these ladies smile the whole world looks brighter!

[peterwelling]

"When we've been there 10, 000 years..." and this old man got teary eyed. I just found The Petersens a day or so ago. Amazing.

[michaelsmith]

I loved how Karen kept her head bowed in reverence for so long, I am with you dear sister in Christ. Always hold Him up first.

[David-kttp]

This is the best version of “Amazing Grace” that I’ve ever heard!

[johncline]

Probably the best known song of salvation and grace. Written by a former slave ship captain and drunkard turned gospel preacher. It reminds me of the man that I was before Jesus Christ came into my life and saved me. I can’t tell you how happy and excited I am that the Petersens have performed this classic of God’s love and grace!

[jimthompson]

The country...OUR country....needs this so much right now. Thank you Petersen's. Thank you!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[chrissherrill]

"T'was grace than taught my heart to fear and grace my fear relieved". IMO one of the most powerful statements made by any song.
