Amazing
Song Meaning
Point of Grace grounds gratitude in a specific memory rather than a general feeling in "Amazing" — "consider your needs of the past, when somebody helped but you never asked, now think of the joy you received when you reached out to someone else in need." The song asks for recollection before making its actual claim.
"Sometimes it's hard to see that it's more blessed to give than receive, learning from different mistakes, learning to give instead of just take" quotes Jesus' own words directly, admitting the lesson takes real repetition to learn rather than arriving all at once. "Though each day is a gift from on high" keeps the ordinary variation of "some days we laugh, some days we cry" grounded in a single constant.
"There's so much more that's in Jesus name" closes the chorus by naming the actual source underneath the exchange of love the song has been describing — not two people simply being kind to each other, but something with a name attached to it.
Consider your needs of the past
When somebody helped but you never asked
Now think of the joy you received
When you reached out to someone else in need
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause some days we laugh
Some days we cry
Some days we hold it deep inside
Though each day is a gift from on high
[Chorus]
But what I find
Amazing
The love we give the love we gain
Amazing
There's so much more that's in Jesus name
Sometimes it's hard to see
That it's more blessed to give than receive
Learning from different mistakes
Learning to give instead of just take
But when we all start to blend
We'll be like colors surrounding the sun as it sets
[Repeat Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
Amazing
Sometimes it's hard to see
That it's more blessed to give than receive
Consider your needs of the past
When somebody helped but you never asked
