My heart pounded when we sang Amazing Grace in our service on Sunday here in Durban.
“… I once was lost, but now am found; was blind but now I see.”
Soul-naked words that stir hearts everywhere. Words that transcend all boundaries because they speak to the universal human experience of being confronted with a choice between good and evil.
John Newton wrote this hymn when he needed to make a choice. He was a slave trader – wealthy, no doubt. His heart was changed when he realized that he had to choose between moral and immoral commerce.
