Mom and 4-Year-Old’s Precious ‘Amazing Grace’ Duet Will Warm Your Heart

Check out this precious ‘Amazing Grace’ duet with a talented mom and her 4-year-old son. It will warm your heart to watch them make music together, and it is also so impressive to see the little boy play so well on the piano!

‘Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found,
Was blind, but now I see.’

The little boy playing the piano and singing in the video is Nicholas Protsenko, and his mother is Ella. While he is performing the song, many people are gathered around him in the streets taking photos and videos of his performance. They are all so amazed by his talent!

Nicholas is part of the talented Protsenko family, where everyone has a deep love for one another and music. Karolina, the oldest of her siblings, is a talented young musician who plays violin, sings, and also loves to read and bake. Leo is known to pick up any instrument and sing along whenever he hears the music. He’s also very good at playing piano. Nicholas, the youngest of the bunch, also plays piano and uses his voice to add music to the family.

When it comes to ‘Amazing Grace,’ the author of the hymn is John Newton. He wrote the song after safely landing in Donegal, Ireland, after being caught in a storm at sea. This safe arrival would mark the start of his return to Christianity.

Up until the point of coming to Ireland, John Newton was involved in the Slave Trade. In 1748, Newton was traveling from Africa to Liverpool and got caught up in an awful storm. The weather conditions were so severe that Newton called out to God, asking for mercy. The ship safely reached Ireland, and that event marked the beginning of John Newton’s spiritual conversion. He started to read the Bible, got out of the Slave Trade, became an Anglican Priest, and ended up writing many hymns, including ‘Amazing Grace.’

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this sweet rendition of ‘Amazing Grace’ today!
