Savannah and Hope (hilarious names for a talentless pair of numpties), can I suggest you NEVER try and murder a tune so melodious, harmonious and spiritual again? I, for one, am an Atheist, and I love this song and what it stands for. I hope you do some research and see that it came about because people kidnapped Africans to sell and trade as slaves. The man that wrote this song was one of those traders. This actually about being repentant, which I bet your Mommy and Daddy will never be.

The story behind it is true. The blacks on the ship at the time would have been Muslims.

After the storm he realised what he had done and becomes a monk, this his a hymn he wrote.

[vixxy02]

@123Mogg456 I'm from the place that he wrote the lyrics, to OUR traditional tune, and we were NOT, nor are we muslims.

The ENGLISH LYRICS were to a traditional EFIK song, which is STILL sung in NIGERIA. He heard the EFIK slaves singing the song, in OUR language, and it is a song of LAMENTATION. They were lamenting being captured and taken from their land and families.

Being decended from slaves in the American South, I can agree with you. My mother for years said that the song made popular in white christian gospel actually had its origins from africa. She had a 6th grade education but speaks of this song that was passed down and "hummed" in the feilds on a Georgia Plantation. Her grand and great gran both hummed this song while working and doing difficult labor.

tried to sing along and no it didnt work at all my friend makes videos and i no it takes a while but im sure this could have been better the writings hard to see too sorry but this video in one word...POOR!

[megmoo13]

not very goodf

[Baledwyr]

Tickleurmind, I would be more than happy to tickle your brain with something sharp and pointy...dickhead.

[shaelxoxjayde]

i cant believe this took you 45 minutes. that is just off timing and what is up with the pictures?

[Amphigories]

tickleurmind, this is just a movie, you know, no one really knows, so I suggest you kind of be quiet. God Loves us for who we are, not our skin color. If you're saying this and you go to church, you must not be paying attention at all to the sermons.

[laurenceyuen]

I think that hipsdontlie444 has done his best and I would like to thank him for this slide show. To me, the timing was okay.

[Concetta20]

What?

[tickleurmind]

y is it that john newton thinks God answered his prayers? ru telling me no one else was praying on that boat? what if God was answering sumone elses prayers and it just happened he was on d boat? i guess God doesnt answer black slaves' prayers only white tyrants. Just tickling ur mind.

[geodermofTRY]

Can U Just Shut ur Mouth? God(HEAVEN) is The Only One Who invented us and No More other WEIRD GODS!

[kingdom2505]

I agree, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!
