Some believe that "Christian" is another word for "preachy." If that was the case, John Newton could not have been a Christian. He was a slave trader and was responsible for much pain and sorrow. One day he was literally hit in the head and in a light saw what the entire faith really meant: grace. Then he wrote Amazing Grace. |
| [00:35.25] |
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound |
| [00:36.06] |
That saved a wretch like me |
| [00:38.94] |
I once was lost but now I'm found |
| [00:46.89] |
Was blind but now I see |
| [00:53.94] |
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear |
| [01:05.88] |
And grace my fears relieved |
| [01:12.12] |
How precious did that grace appear |
| [01:12.78] |
The hour I first believed |
| [01:13.41] |
Through many dangerous t? and s? |
| [01:30.12] |
I have already come |
| [01:30.48] |
This grace has bought me safe this far |
| [01:31.20] |
And grace will leave me home |
| [01:39.57] |
When we've been there ten-thousand years |
| [01:40.32] |
Bright shining as the sun |
| [01:41.10] |
We've no less days to sing God's praise |
| [01:52.23] |
And when we've first begun |
| [02:04.98] |
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound |
| [02:15.45] |
That saved oh wretch |
| [02:21.36] |
Like me I once was lost but now I'm found |
| [03:32.67] |
Was blind but now I see |
