See the Must Watch Spontaneous Jam of Amazing Grace in Glenn Beck’s Studio

Jul. 25, 2012 10:25am Tiffany Gabbay

On Tuesday evening, Glenn Beck hosted four of the talented musicians and vocalists who will be performing at Restoring Love. Prior to the program airing, the artists held an impromptu jam session in Beck’s studio where they performed “Amazing Grace.” And it’s a rendition unlike any you’ve ever heard before.

Watch the incredible video below and be sure to explore all of the Restoring Love songs, which are available for download here.

A limited number of tickets for Restoring Love are still available and can be purchased here.

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

  That’s the worst singing of this song I’ve EVER heard. It’s horrible, and I’m not about to pretend it was good.
  
  The fat lady seems to be in love with her own voice.
  
  Sorry, but it’s absolutely disgusting.

  Too much SHOWYness. Can’t even get into the spirit of the song, when a singer is wailing all up and down a scale like that. Why do they do that? A culture thing, but its distracting from Jesus Christ for whom the song is supposedly all about.
  
  Why do musicians always have to say “look what I can DO?”

  I agree. Love the song, hated this rendition. Worst ever!!!
  I hate it when people screw up beautiful religious, patriotic, or Christmas songs.
  They are perfect the way they were created.
  If you can’t sing them right, then leave the songs alone.

  Let us all help promote the Restore Love message to more than the non-white cultures, okay?

  Yep, I hate when they ruin Amazing Grace, or our national anthem. Just sing it like it was meant to be sung.

  Why is there so much hate on here??? Like anything else, some like it and some don’t but that dose not give you the right to make fun of someone who is trying to do something nice. It’s not my cup of tea but at least there doing SOMETHING!!

  There are so many excellent singers who have recorded this particular song, but this fat lady does the worst job of it I’ve EVER heard.
  
  First of all she can’t sing. Secondly she runs up and down the scale as if she thinks she’s doing a good job of it, completely oblivious to the fact she’s singing for herself….not for the song itself nor for anybody else, but just showing her arrogance….
  
  It’s a terrible rendition and truly disgusting. She totally ruins a very good song.

  No it was beautiful and sung from the heart of each one of them. Whether you like the rendition or not, can you not appreciate the depth of the love of Christ and the devotion to His beliefs?
  I can.
  Thank you, Glenn, I needed this song. Today is the 10th anniversary of my daughter’s death and my soul aches for her as if it happened just yesterday.

My first wife passed in 1999 after 42 years of marriage. She requested and received the song Amazing Grace and Swwet Cherrry on, at her service. How wonderful.

This is what heaven sounds like to me. My soul is stirred and I feel our Saviors loving hand upon me. I do not know Kim Harley or the guitarist but I am so blessed to know them now. I do know Alex Boye. I have heard him and seen him many times. He is a remarkable man and I have great respect for him and his amazing gifts. Glenn, thank you for this post. My day is blessed by this music! God is good and he loves us all.

Last night I watched on GBTV the program of Restoring Honor and that made me so emotional and then to wake up and listen first thing to this; tears. I have always loved the song Amazing Grace and this was beautiful and as usual filled my heart with such an overwhelming awe of the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our prayers reach out to Heavenly Father to protect Glenn Beck and those who work for him, their families and all those who are blessed enough to attend the Restoring Love activities. Maybe someday my family will be able to attend such a special event. Love and prayers to all who do this amazing work. I hope our country will be saved from the awful direction it’s been heading. Love – that’s the only way it can happen. God Bless America, please. I Stand with Israel.

  Had to laugh at this one. A long, emotional post imploring people to love each other, followed by a vote of support for an apartheid state that remains the worst mistake in the history of modern international relations.

  The only place you are moving to, is closer to the second death! And the reason you don’t know what the second death is, is because you don’t know God. But you will, and soon and on that day you will meet Him face to face and have to answer for every word and every thought just like the rest of us will. So take heed and love your neighbour go and sin no more!

  Of course. Voicing any criticism of Israel in purely political terms means I’m headed for a ‘second death.’ Do you people realize how easily manipulated you are when politicians co-opt your religion in order to consolidate your support for foreign policy measures? Like taking candy from a baby. Learn to think for yourself (even though I know your religion labels this as ‘original sin’).

  ANDYETITMOVES has never, ever read the bible, indicated by his belief our support for Israel is a manipulation of our political leaders. If his take on ‘apartheid Israel’ is any indication he’s yet to read anything that wasn’t put out by the far left.

  Oh I’ve certainly read the Bible, it remains the best antidote for Christianity if you are a discerning person. I’m fully aware that you people need Israel in order to complete your apocalypse prophesy, forgive me if I’m not willing to base foreign policy on the desire of American christians to see the world end properly.

  “Oh I’ve certainly read the Bible, it remains the best antidote for Christianity if you are a discerning person. ”
  
  No religion on earth embraces homosexuality, so why aren’t you hating them as well as Christianity?
  
  Christianity or other religions are not the obstacles to the acceptance of aberrant behavior. It is nature who is your real enemy, because it instills in each of us a natural abhorrence to anything that is in opposition to our embeded trait to perpetuate the species. It has nothing to do with religion.
  
  If you reach out to find help in casting off your mentall illness, it is available, but you must first want to try to get well.

And there’s Beck, kind of hunched over, doing his best to appear humble yet serious as he always does when the show does a segment about faith. Complete with watery eyes that cry dollar signs.

What a fraud.

  How can you even know what a singer or song does to a person when they hear the words and feel the meanings. If you do not believe that is your right but don’t try to tell untruths about others when you don’t know. At $10.00 a ticket nobody is getting rich except the people in their souls that attend and will listen. Watch it and you might know what I am talking about whether you admit it or not. …. God loves all his children.

  ….Except that Beck is actually LOSING money on Restoring Love….so far anyway. And it looks like he will be possibly breaking even, but only if he gets really lucky.
  
  $10 a ticket!! $10!?!?!?
  
  He could have charged $100 and he probably still would have filled the stadium.
