I heard the title of this song several times when I was younger. For a long time, I was mystified by its apparent popularity, since I didn't find the tune particularly memorable or grand.
Yesterday was the first time I have properly heard it in the right context and with an understanding of its lyrics. I was touched.
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.
