Phil Wickham - This Is Amazing Grace Lyrics

“This Is Amazing Grace” celebrates Christ as the King who defeats sin, restores order, and rules with truth and justice. Its verses gather images of divine strength, mercy, and majesty before the chorus turns toward the personal cost of redemption. The repeated confession that Jesus took another’s place and bore the cross keeps the song centered on grace rather than human achievement. The language of freedom gives the praise a clear foundation: Christ lays down his life so that the captive can be released.

The bridge echoes the worship of the Lamb in Revelation, joining Christ’s sacrifice with his victory over the grave. That combination gives the song both reverence and joy. Questions in the verses steadily lead back to “the King of Glory,” while the chorus answers with gratitude for all Christ has done. The result is a song of praise shaped by the cross, resurrection, and the unfailing love of God.
