Talented artist Tori Kelly sits down with The Late Show musical director Jon Batiste for an unrehearsed rendition of ‘Amazing Grace.’
Tori Kelly has been a staple on the music scene for years, but 2018 marked her first gospel album. Now, she’s not afraid to proclaim her love for the Lord on national television.
“Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
T’was blind but now I see
T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed”
This iconic hymn was written by John Newton. It served as a measure of thanks to the Lord for giving him new life. As a sailor, John was known for his crude language and actions. But one day, he found himself caught in a terrible storm. After hours at the helm of the ship, his thoughts turned to God.
After surviving the weather, John started his life as a Christian and dedicated himself to serving our Father. Today, Tori Kelly is visiting The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. That’s where she teamed up with Jon Batiste, the musical director of the show, for an impromptu performance of ‘Amazing Grace.’
This moment was completely unrehearsed but it shows the true talent between these two musicians. Just listen as they sit down at the piano and belt out these words that we all hold so dear. Who else is in awe right now?
