The Most Beautiful “Amazing Grace” I’ve Ever Heard
Amazing Grace was written by a former slave trader named John Newton.
Once sailing as the captain of a ship full of slaves from Africa, his boat was fiercely overtaken with a ravaging storm… Newton, fearing that his life was over, got down on his knees and begged for God to spare his life. He promised the Lord that, if he spared his life, he would repent and stop trading slaves.
The storm calmed down and Newton, using a tune he had heard the slaves sing over and over again, wrote the, now, most famous Christian hymn of all, “Amazing Grace.” A hymn, a song that continues to be sung around the world, full of sorrow and love and hope that those who hear or sing it would enjoy the great blessing of forgiveness of sin in Jesus.
Amazing Grace
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I’m found.
Was blind, but now I see.
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to feel
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
‘Twas grace that brought us safe that far
And grace will lead us home
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Then when we’d first begun.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I’m found.
Was blind, but now I see
