WLD CHSE’s "That Amazing Grace": Inspired by a Classic Hymn


WLD CHSE's "That Amazing Grace" carries a truth that many will remember from an older hymn with an almost identical title. He recalls singing "Amazing Grace" as a child in his grandmother's church, but it wasn't until years later that he understood the hymn's message. WLD CHSE shares: "There's this moment in my life where I realized the true meaning of "Amazing Grace" and how it should also make us want to be grateful and embrace life fully." That thought is the driver behind this song, and the message comes with fresh urgency. 

WLD CHSE - That Amazing GraceThe lyrics of the song describe the moment that His grace became personal. The song starts with "In the darkest of valleys with the shadow of death," drowning in worry, breathless and overwhelmed, praying for rescue. No matter how dark our valley is, His light will break through: "Is someone sending me a sign?" We already know the answer… WLD CHSE sings: "You've always been saying // You're in the business of saving." God's grace isn't just history. His amazing grace is here and now and within your reach.

My favorite part of the song is the chorus, "I've found amazing grace and how sweet it is to sing // That You would go into the death and grave // To save a wretch like me." Our Savior doesn't offer us passive salvation; He changes us from the inside out. "Now I'm walking in faith like there's a brand new part of me," where we may trade our shame for identity and our fear for eternal freedom. 

"That Amazing Grace" doesn't just remind us of rescue, it inspires us to take action. Embrace your identity and let Him lead your ways. Press play and sing along. Recognize how God's amazing grace is at work in your life.

(Related scripture: Psalm 23:4; Ephesians 2:8‑9; 2 Corinthians 5:17)

Josephine Grace - Higher Than the Heavens (CCM)

Josephine Grace has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Higher Than the Heavens. Josephine shared her story behind this song:  Some songs come quickly, some come slowly. This one was definitely the latter! It was way back in 2011 when I made a home demo of the first version of this song - it was moodier with completely different chords, melody and lyrics - and then it sat on the shelf (or more literally, on an external hard drive full of archived files) until the back end of last year. I’ve done some studying online with Hillsong College this past year and a half and at some point I’d explored what being wholehearted towards God means. Bits of the old song (it was called ‘I Will’ at that point), written quite directly from Psalm 108, started coming back to me beginning with Psalm 108:1 (NIV) “My heart, O God, is steadfast”.  I followed the melody in my mind to the chorus based on Psalm 108:4 (NIV) “For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your fa...
