"Amazing Grace" is a Christian hymn published in 1779, with words written by the English poet and clergyman John Newton (1725-1807).
With the message that forgiveness and redemption are possible regardless of sins committed and that the soul can be delivered from despair through the mercy of God, "Amazing Grace" is one of the most recognizable songs in the English-speaking world. Author Gilbert Chase writes that it is "without a doubt the most famous of all the folk hymns," and Jonathan Aitken, a Newton biographer, estimates that it is performed about 10 million times annually. It has had particular influence in folk music, and has become an emblematic African American spiritual. Its universal message has been a significant factor in its crossover into secular music. "Amazing Grace" saw a resurgence in popularity in the U.S. during the 1960s and has been recorded thousands of times during and since the 20th century, occasionally appearing on popular music charts.
Mahalia Jackson's 1947 version received significant radio airplay, and as her popularity grew throughout the 1950s and 1960s, she often sang it at public events such as concerts at Carnegie Hall.
The U.S. Library of Congress has a collection of 3,000 versions of and songs inspired by "Amazing Grace", some of which were first-time recordings by folklorists Alan and John Lomax, a father and son team who in 1932 traveled thousands of miles across the South to capture the different regional styles of the song.
More contemporary renditions include samples from such popular artists as Sam Cooke and The Soul Stirrers (1963), The Byrds (1970), Elvis Presley (1971), Skeeter Davis (1972), Mighty Clouds of Joy (1972), Andy Williams (1972), Amazing Rhythm Aces (1975), Willie Nelson (1976), etc.

LYRICS for 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;
’Tis grace hath 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.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.
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’d first begun. - Видеоклипы
The name on the song should be "Giving Thanks this Season, Amazing Anastasia" sounds beautiful as always my dear friend :-)
Alexandru
+ChannelAlexandru Thanks as always Alexandru. :) Merry Christmas ! ~Anastasia~
Beautifully sung, and with very precise enunciation which lends itself to a lovely relaxed delivery and rendition! Your voice has matured immensely!! Well done, Anya..and Happy Orthodox Christmas - and a Happy New Year! :) Martin :)
+Martin F Thank You Martin ! :) I've been told sometimes I enunciate too clearly. Different people different tastes I guess. :D Glad you liked it though ! Happy Christmas !
One of the most beautiful Christian songs ever written, simple in its style, but powerful in its message. You do a wonderful job of bringing out the true beauty of this song with your unique and beautiful voice. Thank you for sharing it with us.
+Douglas Kay Thank You Very Much. :) :) Merry Christmas !
Who wrote it?
Ms. Anastasia, that was so beautiful, I had goose bumps through the entire song. So incredible.
+Wayne Janousek Thanks Wayne ! :) I appreciate your support as always. I figured now was a good time to release this song.
Hi Anastasia. Beautiful song, beautiful performance, nice video. Bravo Anya nice job! Greetings from Florida, have a nice week ,polish Janek...

A really wonderful presentation, the voice, the views and the promising text at the end!!
+kocbeat Thanks ! :) My Dad and I specifically selected the two quotes. :)
Hi Anya... Thank... This is super 👌... From your devoted friend by fb media... Best wishes for you from Prague, capital of Czech Republic 🇨🇿 🙋♂️🎼
Hello to you in Prague & Thank You So Much!!
~ Anastasia ~
Helen Keller's quote was so beautiful, there's something else that should be valued other than what the eyes can see. You've gave us a unique version of the song Stasia, I enjoyed the music, your appearance and the singing, and since it was so good I am gonna put the video in my playlist, share it on G Plus and Like the video. I am so glad that I've heard this song from you. A Christian anthem, nothing less. Happy Holidays to you one more time :)
+Subidubidubi Du Thanks Subidubidubi Du ! :) More Christmas songs coming soon ! :)
***** I love them! Maybe you could do the one from the movie Home Alone- Somewhere In My Memory, traditional ones are good too. Whatever you want I'll be happy to listen.
Absolutely beautiful performance of this classic hymn,Anastasia!,you look amazing too,another fantastic dress!
+Peter Mackett ~ ha ha thanks so much Peter.. I do so appreciate your kind words :)
~Anastasia~
Just amazing Anastasia your singing voice has become like wine only the best!! I love the quote at the end.... If you believe in God He will open the windows of Heaven and pour Blessings upon you... He has Blessed you indeed... a blessed New Year to you my dear!!!
+Geoffrey Head Wow, thank you Geoffrey ! Much appreciated. God Bless !
Another beautiful presentation Anastasia, as we've come to expect and are never disappointed. The opening quote from Helen Keller says something nice about you. I can hardly imagine being both blind and deaf, yet being enabled to communicate with my fellows thru perseverance, and the great invention of Braille. She inspired me to become a Certified Braille Transcriber thru The Library of Congress (1997), in which our group of 5 won 'Best of the Best' Braille Transcription Product Award (2002) for the entire North American continent ... really! (And I can prove it; I have the documentation.) Well, at least you and I admire and respect the unsung heroine, Helen Keller. I'm in good company; Thank you.
+Eric Hamel Thank You Eric ! :) :) I appreciate your kindly comments. Helen was indeed inspirational. I can't imagine being blind and deaf. Wow ! Impressive work ! :D
Thanks & Take Care,
~Anastasia Lee~
Gorgeous rendition Anya! - Amazingly sung and with amazing grace ! - Loved it! :)

Mis Lee: A great talent does not surpass a great heart . . . the entertainment business at best can be a maze of treachery to those unprepared for the temptations and compromises so many thus far have made . . . and in doing so, have ruined a most valuable life. Please do not allow the illusion of success to destroy your soul. Be well!
+russmaleartist ~ You Can bet on me.. A Person of Faith & Honor.. We all have been shown that is the way.. We are Thankful as well :)

+Terry Harrison ~ I am honored Terry that you enjoyed my rendition of Amazing Grace.. thank you so much, ~Anastasia~
Nice song and your voice is beautiful.It seems that you know many languages. Maybe you can sing something in Spanish? Just a thought💇
+Isela Me Thanks Isela ! :) I can sing in 10 languages, and I actually have Besame Mucho on my RUclips, it's a ways back if you go to my video page. I also recently recorded a Selena (Quintanilla) song a while ago, but I haven't released it yet. :D :) #surprise
+TheAnastasiaLee oh wow. a Selena Quintanilla song. Thats awesome! Thats going really deep into the latino roots. Youre great. Keep up the good work. You have a great future ahead of you. Greetings from beautiful southern California.
+Isela Me ~ Gracias Isela, let me say for myself and my family we truly like Selena Q's music and her artistry.. I do hope you will enjoy that piece to be released in the New Year :)
~Anastasia~
Happy New Year Anastasia! Again, you never cease to amaze me with your talent. The depth and maturity of your voice is extraordinary!
I toured half the world and recorded over 25 albums as a session bass player in the last 35 years. When I compliment you it's not to butter you up, but encouragement to keep working on being the best you can be. When you relax and decide you're the best, is when you have failed as an artist. The best, most professional artists I've ever been around are the ones who are always striving to be their personal best. They are confident, but not conceited. They always have time to visit with their fans and love what they do. God gave you this talent.
Always give God the credit and he will continue to bless you. Many blessings to you dear!
+Tulsatom Bob Hello Tulsatom ! :) :) So nice to hear from you again ! :D So happy you enjoyed the song. I uploaded a few other songs since last we spoke including some duets with my sister. We all take music very seriously. No worries there. :) Thank You, God Bless, and Happy New Year ! ~Anastasia~

Thank You, ~Anastasia Lee~
+TheAnastasiaLee ~ Thank you for your kind reply.
Your voice sounds heavenly :)
+Oboe Fan Grazie Oboe Fan. :) :)
This song highlights what Contralto Corner calls Anastasia Lee's "particularly lush mid-register". She and her soprano sister might enjoy duets by soprano Emma Bell and Marijana Mijanovic like "lo t'abbraccio" from Handel's Rodelinda.
+John Culley Your suggestions are wonderful as always. :) :) Thanks John.
Absolutely stunning
+thasingingbee Wow that was stunning your kind words !!~Anastasia~
Thank You for a beautiful performance... The whole vidio was inspiring.. Your voice excellent
+Larry Webb Thank You Larry. :) Glad you enjoyed.
Preciosa canción y tu voz prodigiosa!!

~ Anastasia ~
This is one of my absolute favorite songs sung by one of my absolute favorite singers! Beautiful song choice and I also loved your cover of Elvis Presley's If I Can Dream!
+shay vogler :) Thanks Shay ! :) :) Much appreciated ! Glad you liked the Elvis tune too !
Glorious song Anastasia well done.
Grazie James ! :D :D
Contralto Delphine Galou and soprano Roberta Invernizzi have four very interesting soprano/contralto duets by Handel on You Tube to delight sisters Anastasia Lee and Tatiana Marie. They are (1) addio (2) Se il cor ti perde (3) Scherzando sul tuo volto and (4) lo t'abraccio.
+John Culley :) Thanks John. Will definitely check them out. Tati and I recorded "Little Drummer Boy" and we're releasing it on Monday. :) Hope you'll like it.
How do you do it Anya?? Always spot on, perfect pitch and dazzling beauty. !!!
I love the gown....elegant.
One thing this hymn always reminds me of the movie 'Sergeant York'.
+Loretta Perrone ~ Start by Thanking you Loretta.. I too Love Gary Cooper & Sergeant York.. a true classic about a great hero.. ~Anya~
Little lady, I love this performance. I discovered you following your commentary on the recent Jackie Evancho concert. I'm so glad that young women like you and Jackie are moving into the music business outside of the influence of the major record labels. I had stopped buying music back in the early 1980s because of the way the industry was forcing women performers to sell their music with sex. I didn't buy any music from that time until Jackie Evancho came along with music that touched my heart. And I discovered she was part of an online trend. I have since bought music from Jackie Evancho, Catherine Jenkins, Haley Westenra, Patricia Janeckova, and, if you keep it up, I will soon be buying from you. God bless you for rescuing the heart of music from a largely godless industry. Sincerely yours....
Hello ! Lovely hearing from you ~ Jackie performed at Festa Italiana 2016 on Sunday, I performed there on Saturday. :) Video of which is online. Jackie and Patricia have great soprano voices, I on the other hand am a contralto which is why my voice is so much lower/deeper than most other female singers. Thank you for your support and please subscribe for more music. I actually released my first single this year for St. Jude Children's Hospital ~ It went #1 on the Amazon bestseller charts. :) God bless.
Thanks for asking me to watch this Anastasia. It is my family member 11 generations ago who wrote "Amazing Grace". John Newton, He wrote a whole hymnal. Your voice is beautiful and so unique. So deeply touching. I know you'll go far. I am a HUGE fan of Helen Keller's writings, so include her quote at the beginning was even more touching. Bless you.
+Penlady5 Wow ! Quite the legacy to have. :) :) Glad you enjoyed.
An appropriate traditional musical instrument to accompany Anastasia Lee Johnson might be the hammer dulcimer. Has anyone besides Kathleen Johnson ever tried to sing with a dulcimer? Petrov Skazkiv introduced this instrument to the audience of the 2016 Ukraine's Got Talent and received standing ovations. See the You Tube video entitled Unbelievably beautiful music on Ukraine's Got Talent.
+John Culley I'll take a look. :) Thanks for the brilliant ideas John.
You are so graceful when you sing. It's so beautiful and absolutely captivating. I absolutely love it and you!👏👏👏👏
+Ashley Costilla ~ Ashley, I am honored that you feel that way and enjoy my music.. Please allow me to Thank you,
~Anastasia~
Am crushed. Just crushed.
Judging by your recent comments on other videos, I take it you liked it? :D ;) Thanks.
I'm not a man who cries, but listening to you left me weeping yesterday... not at all certain why. Perhaps, for a moment, my soul was free.
For that, I thank you.
Anastasia Lee and Tataina Marie might want to try this song as a duet with harmony like Katherine Jenkins and Faryl Smith did on the RUclips video entitled Katherine Jenkins, Faryl Smth "Amazing Grace,"Quello Che Faro Par Te". This is still one of my favorite Anastasia Lee songs along with Skyfall, Besame Mucho and the Irish Lullabye". I was wandering if Anastasia Lee, with her big contralto voice might ever consider walking away from the microphones at an outdoor performance the way Anna Netrebko did when she sang Quando m'en vo from La Boheme in Berlin in 2006? I thought it was a really gutsy outdoor encore move. The problem is that sopranos have such an advantage when they do that with an orchestra. Anastasia Lee's voice would have to be firing on all cylinders on the perfect song to try that.
:) Hello John ! I know their rendition well - we'll take a look at doing that actually as our new project calls for some collaborations: www.gofundme.com/gettingtoknowyou - Take a look and let me know what you think. We'd appreciate it if you can help as well. :) :) I have actually gone without microphones outdoors - works in band shells and amphitheater type settings - such as the one Anna used. :)
Cantas como un Angel, Dios te de por muchio mucho tiempo esa linda voz...☺
+anju garcia Gracias Anju. :D :) Merry Christmas !
I took your advice and followed the tiny arrow in the, "Speech Bubble", and give you praise for giving this wonderful rendition to a great song. I also took the advice and subscribed to your sisters songs and played her rendition of. ABBA's Fernando! have a GREAT Holiday!
+Jim Key :) Thanks Jim ! :) :) Glad you enjoyed our music !
beautiful , have a really nice christmas Anya :) and keep up all this fine singing :)
+steviejacko :) Thanks Friend. :) Will do.
It was I believe your Grandfather whom first sent me your music many years back.
I just do enjoyed this video with you singing this song. You have gone a long ways since I first saw/herd you sing & you're vocals are being used so carefully yet so profoundly to such beautiful realms it's so amusing & as well very remarkable.
Indeed I can see you're profound love for the musical arts realm you chose.
Did you're grandmother or mother sing too ? I faintly remember something about this being mentioned ?
I know you're Grandfather was so very proud of you. I still have the blue birds I think it's called that he flew during WWII. (The video)
Do you have a agenda as to the next song you will sing😄❓
I am sure filled with lots questions right? 😇👀. 🐵🙈🙉🙊 I like to try & be a little funny any way some times👼
Are you looking forward to Christmas 🎄🎁🎀👑💖
" Life's so dear & precious "
Know you are very "Uniquely Created" & loved😇 with Gods love through Jesus Christ & Holy Spirit
+1BlueStarRising My paternal Grandfather Del passed away before I was born (the Grandpa that flew in the B-29 "Miss Donna Lee" during WWII). My Grandpa Del was indeed a singer - a Bass & a Yodeler. I'm best friends with Del's best friend, the man I affectionately call "Grandpa Hug" - a surrogate Grandfather I suppose you would say. My Grandma Leona (his wife) loved show biz. Of course I know which songs I will sing next. But if I tell you that ruins the surprise. :D :D :D :D :D Blessings & Merry Christmas ! ~Anastasia~
+TheAnastasiaLee
Yes that makes since. He seemed to be a very wonderful man to me.
Awesome friends !
Yes i understand it must be kept secrete 👍😇
Looking forward to such day each foot pint in the sand along the way 😇
Keep smiling 😇🌸🌺🌼🍀
I nearly missed the notice on this............Thank You for touching the spirit and heart of this song. You truly have a unique and amazing voice in our day!
+James Holloway ~ James, I am so grateful that you are pleased with my rendition.. I guess like Elvis the gospel songs are sung from my heart :)
~Anastasia~
The most unusual rendition of this song on RUclips is from Japan. It involves 273 people playing Theremins which were invented in the 1920's. The title of the RUclips video is Matryomin ensemble sets the world record for the largest Theremin ensemble. Emily Bear has started something similar with her 25 piano concerts in Arizona that are also on RUclips. Musicians have always loved an excuse to network and play music together.
+John Culley Nice - will check them out.
Great! Yet another version of Amazing Grace. But the poem by Helen Keller made me take a closer look. And then the look on Anastasia Lee's face before she started singing made me look even more and then I heard ... an amazing version of Amazing Grace. So much emotion. Awesome, Anastasia. As always, you make each and every song you sing sound even better than when I last heard it. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. :) :) I sang it at two recent concerts as well. God bless.
Bellísima amiga Anastasia sos grande!
:D Gracias.
This song really shows off a rich and beautiful contralto voice. It is as spectacular and Besame Mucho and Skyfall. The costume is both elegant and appropriate.
+John Culley Thanks John. :) :) So pleased you enjoyed.
Very beautiful Anya, I love this song. Kelly :)
+yllekr123 :) Thanks Kelly. :)
Dear Anastasia, you are improving everyday,, we can feel it when you sing so beautifully like this. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful gospel.
+Mayah ~ Please accept my deepest thanks for your very kind words and encouragement ! ~Anastasia~
Amazing performance as always love love love
+Lior B Thank You Li Or ! :)
Youre welcome 💖💖💖
Beautiful Anastasia! You really are a contralto, aren't you with that wonderful dark tone and great chest notes? I see a few singers saying they're mezzo when their voices are clearly not; the specific heavier, rounded tone that mezzos and even more so contraltos possess, is undeniable when you hear it. You've got a great upper range for such a heavy voice and for one so young. Your chest voice reminds me of Contralto legend Kathleen Ferrier but you also have lovely, clear head notes. You also sing very expressively. It will be fascinating to see how your voice develops as you are very young and at the start of your career. You seem like a lovely girl too with your support of St Jude's etc. Good luck, Anastasia, for what I'm sure will be a successful singing career. 😀
I am indeed a Contralto Renee. :) Thanks for your compliments. God bless.
Heart-felt, indeed. Thanks Anya.
+Joel Watson Thank You Joel ! :) :) Please subscribe to receive new music.

This is wonderful! I am pleasantly surprised at your 2015 performance. Not only is your voice more mature and polished, but also your poise and gestures are so natural, yet synchronized with the song. Best of all is how you look at the audience and sing to them. You are well on your way to joining the ranks of the professionals. I really enjoyed your rendition and I look forward to more of them. You are grown up now, young lady -- so go out and conquer the world!
+Ramon O ~ Such a fine complimentary on my recent recording.. I shall hope to make you Proud in the Future.. Blessings, ~Anastasia~
You have such a beautiful voice! So mature for such a young girl! Don't stop using your Godly gift!
Thank you Elizabeth. :) God bless. xx
