gänsehaut pur.....

Nothing much gets me to tear up. But this is deff. one of them. This the most heavenly version I have ever heard. 1 Million stars!

John Newton was the author of Amazing Grace. He became a Christian believer during his stint in the slave trade, and subsequently required that all slaves be treated humanely. He also encouraged prayer on his ship. He later left the slave business and became a wildly popular minister in England. Got this from Google and Wikipedia. No mention of throwing a black baby overboard anywhere.

Where are you getting this information? I googled John Newton, the author of Amazing Grace, and could find no such thing. It is true that he was in the slave trade, but back in the day that was a socially acceptable occupation. And he made sure the slaves on his ship were treated humanely and encouraged everyone to pray. He later left the slave trade and became a very popular minister in England. Please provide a reference for your black baby story.

I think poke needs to listen to the song. The author was a slave trader who later recanted his wicked ways. We christians, not all bible thumpers, try to live and let live. The song is about the grace God gives us to redem even though we have gone astray. Lighten up Poke.

Tee-hee, my name is Grace.
