 Gospel singer, songwriter, guitarist Sister Rosetta Thorpe was the first great star of a Black Gospel music lyric, surfacing on the pop music charts in 1938. She remained popular through the 1940s, continuing to hit the charts and drawing tens of thousands of fans to see her perform live in venues across the United States. She lost the support of some of her church fans, now and then, when she performed in secular venues as well, as when she recorded songs not recognized as 'Christian'. The fans she lost were somewhat forgiving, as she remained true to her faith, for the most part, throughout her recording career which spanned the remainder of her life with a free Gospel music lyrics writer.

 Amazing Grace

 Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
was blind, but now, I see.

 Twos Grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed?

 Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
Twos Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.

 The Lord has promised well to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.

 When we have been here ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun.
We've no fewer days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun.

 Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
