YouTube - Willie Nelson - Amazing Grace
There are lots and lots of versions of this song, versions with great and strong voices, the heart-breaking renditions of pipers at funerals, and many others. What I like about Willie Nelson's versions is that they're sung by someone who is truly grateful to be redeemed from sin. The operatic versions sound great, but they miss the story of someone standing and shivering in front of one's past. Willie gets that.
