This arrangement and the extra lyrics were written for the movie, "Amazing Grace". Beautiful words with a great message, but I personally don't care for the "breathiness" and "sliding".


Exactly my thoughts about it, Jess! Makes me think of "Jesus is my boyfriend" type songs (the breathiness does).

This song Chris Tomlin took the history of when this Hymn was written. He added back The Chain is Gone ETC I have the CD and it says why he had that. I don't think it's about a boyfriend it's about Jesus forgiving us.


If you re-read my post, KJVK, you'll see that I didn't say it was about a boyfriend. I said it makes me think of "Jesus is my boyfriend" type songs (of which there are many...even the people who like those type songs call them that). Chris Tomlin has a good voice, but he creates a sensual sound to the song that isn't necessary. I don't like breathiness in a song. To me, it takes away from the beauty of the words and the music.

Yes, it is about Jesus forgiving us. I absolutely love the song. But not the way Tomlin sings it.
