The theme of the song is consistent with the theme of the Bible: repentance, gratitude, atonement and rebirth. The lyrics are simple and full of confession of piety and gratitude, which is also the testimony of john newton's life. John newton was a vicious slave captain, but later he was banished to Africa. In a stormy sea, he was saved by God, so he decided to repent thoroughly, devoted his life to spreading the gospel of God, and became a preacher in the19th century.
