It's a good story, but it's not a true story.
Newton worked in the slave trade until he had to retire for health reasons - almost a decade after he "found god".
He never turned a slave ship around. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't. He was never the one in command. He was only the first mate

I just looked up John Newton and read that he actually was the CAPTAIN of a slave ship.
nevertheless Arlo tells a great story and of all the people that have ever recorded that song his is my personal favorite partly because of the story he tells.
Thanks Arlo

The story may not be 100% accurate,
nonetheless it is true.
A native American friend used to say the above to me when I got picky about something.
The verse below is full of power:
"Shall I be wafted to the skies on flow'ry beds of ease
While others strive to win the prize
And sail on bloody seas..." Why should I think I'm going to have it easy ?

That story about John Newton gave me chills. I like 3:55 "...anybody who's not afraid to turn around ...that's a friend of mine". Amen Arlo!! - Thanks for posting this Jackie!
