Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace is a song that has been popular for hundreds of years. The song has brought many people together in many ways because it is such a powerful song. This is one reason that this is significant to Emily because she like the idea of bringing people together. Although she was secluded from the world she found it important to bring us together through her works. The story talked about the Lord doing good and Emily being a Christian women find this very important. She believes very much in he Lord and that he is the only one and thing that can save her. This is significant because the song talks about the Lord doing good and promising hope. This hope is what keeps her going in her life of solitude. It talks about being saved which is important to her because she wanted to be saved from her past and the life she once lived before. The song touches a lot of people and can be considered one of the most powerful songs in America's history. The time that this was written was in a time of troubles in America when we needed inspiration and happiness to lift all of our spirits. This could also be significance in Emily Dickinson's life because of how uplifting it is. The idea of being saved and hope was something that everyone was searching for. This was something that many Christians believed in and found important because of the way of life at this time. The song brought them back to God and back to their faith because of the promises it proclaimed that the Lord had made. This could have contributed to Emily's coming back to her faith and to the Lord. The song does have a connection to many but I will personally say that I have little connection to it. The emotions are there but I am not really affected by it because I think the time period is different.
