I MAY NOT BE THE PERSON THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN…BUT WITH GOD’s GRACE I SOMEDAY SHALL SURELY BE ….BUT I AM DEFINITELY NOT THE PERSON THAT I USED TO BE… AMAZING GRACE
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.
@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.
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.
