This Is Amazing Grace
by Phil Wickham
Theology & Meaning
This song celebrates the powerful grace of God shown in Christ who takes our place, breaks the power of sin, and brings us into freedom. It holds together substitutionary language and kingdom imagery that points to Jesus as the worthy King. The tone is joyful and invitational, drawing the church into gratitude for the finished work of the cross.
Worship Leadership Tips
This is a strong opening song that sets a tone of joy and clear gospel focus. It can also work well after a baptism or testimony that highlights freedom from sin. When you lead it, take a moment to frame why the grace of God is truly good news so people do not rush through powerful truths without reflection.
Arrangement Tips
Keep the groove tight and the melody right in the center of the mix so new people can lock in quickly. Guitars and keys can trade rhythmic roles so the song feels energetic without being cluttered. Do not be afraid to pull the band back on a verse later in the song so the church can hear themselves sing.
