He almost joined them in death, and was utterly helpless to do anything. That was why John Newton wrote this song, and in it he acknowledged his own shortcomings as a human being. That was why Christianity succeed as much as it did, it's message that even the least among us can be redeemed.

draco6543 Says:

Aug 1, 2009 - Yes John Newton was involved in the slave trade, until he and everyone else aboard his ship nearly died in a fierce storm at sea. When he realized how helpless they were, it changed him as a person and led to his writing this hymn. If you listen to the lyrics, Newton acknowleges his own shortcomings as a human being and the fact that we are not 100 percent in contol of our destiny. The message behind this hymn is that even for the least of us, redemption is possible.

draco6543 Says:

Aug 1, 2009 - John Newton was indeed a slave trader. Until one day he was utterly helpless in a storm that nearly sank his ship. He acknowled in this hymn his own shortcomings as a human being. The message to this hymn is even those who go down the wrong paths in life could still be redeemed through God's love, if they choose to be saved. His near death experience at sea changed him profoundly, and that lead him to write this hymn.

Aug 3, 2009 - She has an amazing voice, it's just so universally awesome, as the OP states, it trascends across all religions and the globe. Too bad the actual creator of this song was a naughty man...

amora327 Says:

Aug 3, 2009 - he wrote the song out of repentance for what he had done....he knew slavery was evil....maybe it was a way of asking God for forgiveness....

Aug 5, 2009 - I think poke needs to listen to the song. The author was a slave trader who later recanted his wicked ways. We christians, not all bible thumpers, try to live and let live. The song is about the grace God gives us to redem even though we have gone astray. Lighten up Poke.

Aug 5, 2009 - Where are you getting this information? I googled John Newton, the author of Amazing Grace, and could find no such thing. It is true that he was in the slave trade, but back in the day that was a socially acceptable occupation. And he made sure the slaves on his ship were treated humanely and encouraged everyone to pray. He later left the slave trade and became a very popular minister in England. Please provide a reference for your black baby story.

pookypie3 Says:

Aug 5, 2009 - John Newton was the author of Amazing Grace. He became a Christian believer during his stint in the slave trade, and subsequently required that all slaves be treated humanely. He also encouraged prayer on his ship. He later left the slave business and became a wildly popular minister in England. Got this from Google and Wikipedia. No mention of throwing a black baby overboard anywhere.
