Amazing Grace
Tammy Wynette · In Concert [Rhino] [1986]
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now I am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear.
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares.
I have already come.
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far.
And grace will lead me home.
When we've been there ten thousand years.
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise.
Than when we first begun.
Than when we first begun...
About Amazing Grace
Tammy Wynette's "Amazing Grace" stands as a testament to her mastery of traditional gospel and country balladry, blending spiritual reverence with her signature emotive vocal style. Recorded for her 1986 live album *In Concert*, the track showcases her ability to deliver a powerful, soulful performance that resonates with the enduring themes of redemption and faith. While Wynette is perhaps best known for her heartbreak ballads and duets with George Jones, this recording highlights her versatility and deep connection to religious music, a genre she approached with the same sincerity found in her other catalog. The song serves as a poignant reminder of her range, proving that her voice could command both the intimate spaces of a ballroom and the grandeur of a gospel setting without losing its emotional core.
