Who can forget former America’s Got Talent contestant Tyler Butler-Figueroa? The young violinist’s cover of Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Stronger’ earned him Simon Cowell’s coveted Golden Buzzer and a worldwide following.
Tyler, a young boy from North Carolina, was bullied by classmates after being diagnosed with leukemia at just four and a half years old. Today, he is warming hearts again with a passionate violin cover of ‘Amazing Grace.’ The hymn was originally written by John Newton as a thank-you to the Lord for giving him a second chance at life.
John was a sailor who frequently used bad language while working. However, when he found himself caught in the middle of a terrible storm, he cried out to God to save him and his ship. God saved him, and John began his life as a Christian, dedicating himself to the Lord. The touching words of ‘Amazing Grace’ reflect the transformation God brought into his life.
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
13-year-old Tyler is using his talents to glorify the Lord, and it is such a blessing to see this young boy serve God with all his heart, mind, and strength.
