I heard this song on the radio, I was driving my car at the time, a complete hedonist, and was forced to stop because I began weeping and didn't know why. Every time I heard it I began crying and a little while later I heard about Jesus Christ and His finished work which caused me to call on His Name for salvation. 33 years later, I still get emotional hearing this song. God bless you, Judy Collins.
I too when I first heard that song tears weld in my eyes as it still does the day so many decades later. And nobody can replicate the version that Judy Collins did. What song itself has an amazing history that everybody should look up and read the origins of it. God bless you all
I went to school with Judy Collins from fourth grade till we graduated from high school. She was a concert pianist, but then she started doing folk music. I remember we had a talent show and she sang a folk song. I don’t remember what, but it was such a surprise. Have followed her amazing career and enjoyed all of her music. I remember one morning in fourth grade she came running in late to school and said she had to stay home with her brothers and sisters because her mom and had a new baby. And they named him Denver.
Ha! I was driving through Boston with friends when Judy was there for this concert. We'd stopped at a red light, and who did we see walking near us on the sidewalk but HER. We rolled down our windows and shouted in unison, "We love you Judy!" She stopped, smiled, and yelled back, "And I love you too!"
Bless you so much Judy...... Anytime I hear Amazing Grace I can`t help but totally break down in tears. I`m going to turn 54 on March 2024 and I hope even though early stages of Dementia and I just came across Judy singing this beautiful song I hope that I never forget her beautiful voice.
I meet Judy back in 1988 at Six Flags Great Adventure. The audience was so small she commented on how intimate it was. After her performance, we hung out back stage and got to meet and greet those beautiful blue eyes. She was so gracious and welcoming. Will never for get it as long as I live. And definitely ask that her song be played when I pass on 👍🏻🙏🏻
Thank you God for always being there to catch me when I fell, picked me up, held me, and helped me stand up again. Forgave my sins and showed me you are the greatest love of all...
All I know is this. As a woman of age lets say over 50, who spent most of my life in sin, running from God at every turn, He finally caught me. No, actually, I now know I wasn't running away, I was running towards. I just kept tripping up along the way. You can have your scientific research and philosophical mindset and I guess we will find out who really is right on the other side of eternity. All I know is this: Amazing Grace, sweet grace , God's grace saved a wretch like me . How sweet is the sound. No man, no debate, no scientific attitudes can take that away from me. All I know when my time comes to leave this world at death or return of Jesus Christ I will go out singing and in peace. As they say " there are no athiests in foxholes. Facing death soldiers cry out for God and their moms.
I laid to rest my mother today! I have always like this version of Amazing Grace sung by Judy Collins. It always sends chills up my spine, when I hear it! Thank you!
I am so happy that i will be able to sing tenor (from the the 24 row at the Celebrity theater in Phoenix on March 10th) at a concert by this iconic singer from my own generation.
I wonder if any of todays artist could punch out a voice like this. Ive played it to my nephews and nieces and now they listen to it. What a talent no one comes close to this
Many could "punch" it out, but very few could hold a pure sustained note as well. At least not without embellishing it somehow to show off their range.
This song means a lot to me as it reminds me of the day I got saved, I was a wretch and I sort after God and He knew and it was a magical moment back in 1988, 28th Dec, I would probably be in the gutter somewhere if I hadn't paid heed. Jeremiah 29;13,14 "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you," declares the Lord.
You are my other mom. God bless you. Thank you for your years of comfort and inspiration. You hopefully know the treasures you bestow. You are the soundtrack of my childhood. You are amazing! Thank you so much for all your beauty!
God bless you this song was sang at my grandma's funeral in 2014 and of course I played in on piano first then of course my moms dads funeral which was also my grandpa I played on piano then again on my step grandma's funeral etc
there is only one reason judy collins was put here. to sing this song like an angel from heaven. no human can ever match her. judy collins is amazing grace
That is a great way of putting it. Her voice is literally an instrument of music. Whatever an angel sounds like when they sing, I imagine it sounds like this.
I'm not an American and certainly not a fan of certain aspects of your culture but the world would be a much poorer place with a 'Disunited' States of America. Here's hoping you and your countrymen can see more US and less THEM and end this insane tribalism.
How great it is that “ Amaging Grace” is a blessing gift from God that unites the hearts of people believing in the existence of God just as“ One” forever and ever 🙏
Dear Judy: I sold your "Whales & Nightingales" album when I was 15. I didn't know you. I just saw your photo and I thought that it would be good. And I didn't mistake. I have the vinyl yet. Love from Argentina.
How absolutely AWESOME! That's when you can REALLY sing when you can sing like that! And I can remember this first time round in the 70's. I'd like to see the likes of ariana grande, or smiley cyrus or britney spears sing like that, that'll be the day! No fancy "autotune" stuff back then, they didn't need it. And she did it without music too, how absolutely AWESOME!
Nobody can sing this song better than Judy Collins

God bless you and I know exactly how you feel. Praise the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.
Soooooooo amazing

Thank you for sharing this wonderful story to us😊
Nobody, but nobody sings Amazing Grace like Judy Collins. Amen.
I agree! True words!
I got Judy and Diana Ross tied for #1 on it. Diana's cover of it Christmas in Vienna is one for the ages, too.
yes ofcourse Im shure 100%
nobody never sings Amazing Grace like Judy Collins.
forever and ever for all the times the best singer lady Judy Collins
My daughter does! Won a six week contest with different jhonras each week. Could have heard a pin drop when she did this a capella 👏
Yes that is true
Ha! I was driving through Boston with friends when Judy was there for this concert. We'd stopped at a red light, and who did we see walking near us on the sidewalk but HER. We rolled down our windows and shouted in unison, "We love you Judy!" She stopped, smiled, and yelled back, "And I love you too!"
:)
Judy was born to sing this song. God bless her and keep her always. 🙏✝️
Bless you so much Judy...... Anytime I hear Amazing Grace I can`t help but totally break down in tears.

no orchestra, no adornment, just Judy and an audience, i remember this concert so well back in 76. Arthur Fielder and the Boston Pops.
I had a vynlel album from her. How did I buy it for .50 cents? Joe Biden would not allow it. Of all the songs on it, this was the best. Amazing grace.
Beautiful..American flag in the background and singing a beautiful hymn..God was pleased that night.🙏❤️🇺🇸..and NO CELLPHONES!
Perhaps they should be called hell phones
We played this at my brother's funeral.
Thank you God for always being there to catch me when I fell, picked me up, held me, and helped me stand up again. Forgave my sins and showed me you are the greatest love of all...
I love the way she encourages everyone to sing so organically, from the heart! A gorgeous chorus!
I can imagine the energy in that place at that time. 💖
Another example of how God reached down to our level to show His love.
no one will ever have the voice Judy Collins has. heaven will have a special place just for her voice ....very lovely voice she has

+Kathryn Richards Sweet testimony. Thanks for sharing; it's uplifting.
Kathryn Richards Great, inspirational story. Thanks for sharing.
Kathryn Richards In filth it will be found.
Her version touches souls regardless of belief
She has a voice like an angel. For the people that dislikes, even the devil will not make room in hell for you.
Full of the Love from God
I laid to rest my mother today! I have always like this version of Amazing Grace sung by Judy Collins. It always sends chills up my spine, when I hear it! Thank you!
I pray comfort and healing for you. Sorry to hear of your mums passing. May she Rest in Peace
I saw her sing this in Toronto in 2005,I cried my eyes out.I can barely hold back right now.
I am surprised the sensoring media has not removed this
It is too good.
The most beautiful piece of music ever created.
I am so happy that i will be able to sing tenor (from the the 24 row at the Celebrity
theater in Phoenix on March 10th) at a concert by this iconic singer from my own generation.
I had the good fortune to be on leave and to see and hear Judy singing in the Ulster Hall Belfast.One of the Greatest female voices I have ever heard.
I wonder if any of todays artist could punch out a voice like this. Ive played it to my nephews and nieces and now they listen to it. What a talent no one comes close to this
Many could "punch" it out, but very few could hold a pure sustained note as well. At least not without embellishing it somehow to show off their range.
Just attended her concert at the Castle In The Clouds. At 85 years young, she still has it! Funny jokes to boot. 😂
I could listen to her sing for hours
Me too and I'm not from North America.

What a beautiful hymn and amazing voice God has given to Judy.
+Won Jay Lee She does this song justice just about every time!
Judy Collins sings Amazing Grace sublimely...absolutely the best rendition - ever.
This song means a lot to me as it reminds me of the day I got saved, I was a wretch and I sort after God and He knew and it was a magical moment back in 1988, 28th Dec, I would probably be in the gutter somewhere if I hadn't paid heed.

after all these years,judy still has a pure,sweet voice
Praise God. What a beautiful voice.

there is only one reason judy collins was put here. to sing this song like an angel from heaven. no human can ever match her. judy collins is amazing grace
Her voice is an instrument!!! Amazing!!!
That is a great way of putting it. Her voice is literally an instrument of music. Whatever an angel sounds like when they sing, I imagine it sounds like this.
This lady would kick ass on American Idol.
LOL right.
More than that!
So beautifully song! Engaging the audience made this a great production.
That big, beautiful voice just pours out of her like God intended it to!
Judy is a treasure for us all to love and admire.
She was a liberal activist yet this song unified this audience. God make it so that this message again unifies our country.
I'm not an American and certainly not a fan of certain aspects of your culture but the world would be a much poorer place with a 'Disunited' States of America. Here's hoping you and your countrymen can see more US and less THEM and end this insane tribalism.

这首奇异恩典，至今没有任何一个人能超越她的版本。她唱出来让你有种心灵被洗礼的感觉，不知不觉眼泪落下来
A song that touches the heart sung beautifully. Cliff Richards did the same at Spree 73 when he sang it unaccompanied.
I close my eyes and I hear an angel..Thank you Thank you Thank you Judy. Love your honest beautiful voice. What an amazing era of music!
I love this song; I love Judy Collins, and combined with the Harlem Boys Choir, the effect is beautiful! Thanks for sharing Arun!

No matter when, where and who sings with her, Her voice is timeless, A voice of angels....
One of the very few singers in the world, that needs no orchestra as she did here.
Amazing Grace on ne s'en lasse jamais
This is awesome it would have great to hear Judy and Alison Krauss sing this together it would have been heavenly
Minha versão preferida da clássica canção.

How absolutely AWESOME! That's when you can REALLY sing when you can sing like that! And I can remember this first time round in the 70's. I'd like to see the likes of ariana grande, or smiley cyrus or britney spears sing like that, that'll be the day! No fancy "autotune" stuff back then, they didn't need it. And she did it without music too, how absolutely AWESOME!
hinos que nos edificam.
rozdziera serce.
No one sang it better than her. Period.
