Little girl sings like an angel

I couldn’t help myself to post this little girl (Rhema Marvanne) singing the famous hymn “Amazing Grace”. It’s awesome, just listen to her.

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. 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. When we've been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun. We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we've first begun.
