Lyrics:
Amazing grace, what a sweet voice.
Saved a poor man like me,
I was once lost, but now I have found it.
I used to be blind, but now I can see.
It was grace that taught me to be afraid.
Grace eased my fears.
How precious that grace is,
The moment I first believed it.
Through many dangers, traps and traps
We have come.
It is grace that brings us security.
Grace will take us home.
When we stayed there for 10 thousand years
As bright as the sun;
We still have many days to praise God.
Than when we first started.
Extended data:
Amazing grace was originally written by British priest john newton in 1779. It was originally a traditional folk song, or black soul song, which expressed religious loyalty and contained a simple but profound atonement story.
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 preaching the gospel of God, and became a preacher (Anglican Church) in the19th century.
Before he died, he wrote an epitaph for himself: "Pastor John Newton was once a man who had committed a crime and didn't believe in God. He used to be the master of African slaves. But through the abundant mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ, he was kept, reconciled with God, forgiven his sins, and was appointed to preach the gospel. " This poem bears witness to his life's salvation. This song is full of his remorse for the past slave trade and gratitude to God. Nevertheless, God still bless him.
