This is a beautiful song about the Lord's amazing grace! I tear up when I hear it. It is going to be so wonderful to spend eternity with our Heavenly Father and our Lord Jesus Christ!
Please watch the movie Amazing Grace which is about William Wilberforce and the abolition of slavery in the British empire. He knew Newton (author of the hymn) which encouraged Wilberforce. Newton had been the captain of a slave ship until his conversion which is what the hymn addresses. Wonderful movie and you will never hear the hymn again without thinking of Wilberforce who led the fight to abolish the slave trade. May God bless his soul!
I want you guys to follow and testify the goodness of thy Lord our heavenly Father the creator of the whole world for the love and favour he to me and my family thanks
We are familiar with the hymn "Amazing Grace." Although this is a good hymn, it does not speak of the Triune God as our portion for our enjoyment. When this hymn was written, the experiential knowledge of God among the Lord's people had not come to this point. Even as recent as fifty years ago, Christians did not have the understanding of grace as the Triune God experienced and enjoyed by us. But standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before us, we have come to know that grace is far more than merely unmerited favor. Grace is the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—processed for our experience and enjoyment.
