There are certain songs that all of us are familiar with, and even if we don’t know all of the words, we certainly know the tune. Some of that music may be from our childhood, or perhaps our favorite music when we were teenagers. Others may be music that is played on special occasions, such as Taps or auld lang syne. Another one of those most famous songs is Amazing Grace, and it is one that is a favorite for many people.
Although Amazing Grace has been sung by countless people throughout the ages, I don’t think that I’ve ever heard it done quite as nicely as when the Celtic Women do it. Of course, they are always amazing with their singing abilities, but they put on a show that pleases the eyes as well. Since they are singing along with bagpipes, it makes it even more amazing.
Amazing Grace was published by John Newton in 1779. It was a song that was written of his personal experiences, because he grew up without any religious conviction but, due to a number of unusual twists in his life, he became interested and involved in religion at an older age.
