Ever since I heard the song, It Is Well With My Soul, in a concert of the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, years ago, I have loved it. Just having an actor tell the backstory of that song and having the choir sing it was incredibly emotional and impactful for me.

A while back, my Mom and I memorized the words of that song. The third verse really stuck out to me because of the message that it conveys.

The third verse says,

"My sin-oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!-
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more.
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, O my soul."

Memorizing the words of this song made me love the words and the message of the song even more.

So, why do I love the words of the third verse so much? Because of my love for my Savior and my faith that He took my sin upon Himself when He suffered for me in the Garden of Gethsemane and when He was nailed to the cross. And because He did that, I will praise His name forever. He is my personal Savior and your personal Savior.

I’m posting a short video of me singing the third verse of this song. I hope it brings you peace and helps you feel the love of your Savior.

As a Christian for all of my life, I have always believed in my Savior, Jesus Christ and His power to save me. I have always loved the song, Amazing Grace.

I really like the words of the first verse: “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now I see.”

We are all human and we make mistakes every day. Our Heavenly Father in His infinite wisdom knew we would need a Savior. So in His amazing love for us, He sent His Beloved Son to save all of mankind. Without Jesus, we would all be lost and have no hope of overcoming our weaknesses and mistakes. But, thank goodness, that we have our Savior. Because of Him, there is always hope for us to change and become better.

Have you ever felt so lost and in despair that you didn’t know if you could make it anymore? If you ever feel like this, just picture your Savior’s loving arms around you to raise you up.
