On the tumultuous high seas, John Newton experienced the providential grace of God and, later when he was spiritually saved by God's grace, wrote his personal testimony about God's sovereign, saving grace in a hymn that the world knows as "Amazing Grace" Unforeseen by Newton, It has echoed across oceans to be heard, sung and played throughout many cultures for many generations. Its lyrics were penned in the late 18th century by a common man who was spiritually "lost" but, then, "found" by the grace of God. Its soul-searching lyrics, presented along with its heart-warming tune, is what makes this hymn so genuinely inspiring and represents the ineffable power of lyrical music to cross generations and cultures. Using the lyrics to "Amazing Grace" as a foundation, author, church musician and worship leader, John Hadley, has revealed their deep, rich, biblical meaning which is a pensive reflection of Newton's practical theology-what he believed about and experienced from the marvelous grace of God. He was a prayerful and devoted student of the Bible and what he learned from the Bible and what he experienced from God's marvelous grace is written into the lyrics of his hymns.
