Public Domain/Melody by: Andrea Emmes - Music by: Chris Mendez - Guitar by: Kyle Rice © 2008
I know that this is a typical song for everyone to cover, but this is my mom’s favorite song and years and years ago, she made me promise that I would record this song for her. Well, I always meant to, but I never really could get to it or find a “karaoke” version that I liked. Well, again, I met with Kyle Rice and he started playing this guitar run and I just began to sing the words to “Amazing Grace” but with a completely different melody. In 15 minutes, Kyle and I worked out the melody. Then I gave it to my friend Chris Mendez, who’s a musical prodigy and he came up with a solid structure for the song and performed the drums and other instruments on the track. This song is dedicated to my mom.

About the song

Lyrics

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.

T'was 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...
we have already come.

T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.

Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.

He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.

When we've been here ten thousand years...
bright shining as the sun.

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

"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.

​Amazing Grace,
how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
