A handful of musicians turned in a stunning performance of “Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone).” This is one cover of this beloved tune that you’ll want to listen to repeatedly. Watch the short but moving clip to hear the awe-inspiring cover of the “Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone).”

Hymns are severely underutilized pieces of music. For instance, a lot of churches have abandoned hymns altogether, choosing instead to go with contemporary Christian music for the worship portions of their Sunday morning services. Sure, some may sneak a hymn in there every so often, but, sadly, those occasions are few and far between.

But that practice by many houses of worship baffles the mind. Hymns are beautifully and expertly written, wonderfully articulating and expressing some facet of God’s boundless love, mercy, grace and forgiveness. Who wouldn’t want to hear and sing about that? Many hymns are short, straight to the point and don’t have all the flowery language that many contemporary Christian songs do.

But all is not lost, hymns are still being performed and listened to, as a video posted on social media proves. In the clip, Melissa Brady leads the room in a profoundly moving and tear-jerking rendition of “Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone).” While she sings lead, everyone else lends their voices, making for a truly lovely and delightful cover about the love and grace of Jesus Christ.

“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”

Those opening lines are arguably the most powerful, recognizable lyrics in all of music.

As the song mentions, we are no longer lost and living in sin, bound by our chains. Christ’s extraordinary and powerful grace has changed it all. Praise His name!

Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:”
