https://t.co/VnhU5RPrqfNo sin is too deep,
No lifestyle too vile,
No action too heinous,
No words too harsh,
that God’s matchless, unlimited, and amazing grace can not reach.
The hymn played before Pres. #Biden observed 500k Americans lost to Covid was Amazing Grace. This hymn was written by former slave trader & abolitionist John Newton. It was has.been sung in rallies & revivals. Now, it has been played in a national #Covid memorial. #500kdeaths .
https://t.co/JXzo0TrGOE@NorahODonnell @WHCOS Amazing Grace is the saddest song I ever heard except for Taps. Good on you, Joe.
@NorahODonnell You do know that Amazing Grace was written by a slave ship captain. Woke America is waiting for an apology from the White House.

idk maybe if we paid people to stay home and actually take care of the country, we wouldn’t have to have these moments of silence followed by amazing grace every month
