Amazing Grace

Harley Westenra 在高雄世運因這首歌成為台灣人家喻戶曉的驚艷對象！

她的聲音又乾淨、又空靈，的確是唱這首福音歌的好人選！ 
這首歌還真給她唱到世界出名，每次的演唱會都必唱！
實在也是上帝給的 Amazing Grace~!

十一月台北的演唱會據說已經買不到票了~!! (淚)

這首福音歌有非常多的歌手唱過，下面有兩個版本，
一個是貓王的，非常符合那個年代的韻味。
另外一個則是美國的原住民的版本，有興趣可以比較一下！

Amazing Grace Lyrics
(John Newton 1725-1807)
   
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
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
   
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
   
When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than 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.
