The incredibly talented members of Celtic Thunder delivered a beautiful and soul-stirring performance of the most beloved hymn of all time, “Amazing Grace.”

Churches play various songs during the praise and worship portion of their Sunday morning service. Anyone who has attended a place of worship for any amount of time can easily rattle off several of the songs typically sung in church. Some will be your favorites, while others are some that you would rather not hear or sing ever again.

Regardless of personal preference, all those tunes are beautifully written and usually about Christ’s love, forgiveness, faithfulness and mercy. There are also many songs about the hope we have in Jesus Christ. But no matter the song a praise and worship team may perform, there is one that will never be topped: “Amazing Grace.”

The hymn’s lyrics accurately capture a feeling and a place where we’ve all found ourselves at one time. We are all sinners lost, but because of the grace of God and Christ’s love, we have been found. And after accepting Christ’s gift of forgiveness and eternal salvation, our eyes are now open. We are not and will never do anything to be worthy of God’s love and forgiveness.

Simply put, “Amazing Grace” is a timeless classic that has been played and performed hundreds and thousands of times. In a clip posted on YouTube, the guys from Celtic Thunder use their considerable musical talents to beautifully perform the classic church hymn.

Like their other performances, their rendition of “Amazing Grace” is spectacular. This cover of “Amazing Grace,” by some world-class vocalists, is one that you are likely to return to repeatedly.

That opening verse, while so simple, is incredibly powerful. It’s one that everyone likely knows by heart, but it will still move you to tears as if it’s the first time you’ve ever heard those words performed.
