AMAZING GRACE: FREE Guitar Lesson

http://www.worshipguitarclass.com/aff.htm?p=a1892&w=ag3 A Christian hymn, published in 1779, Amazing Grace is written by an English poet and clergyman John Newton. It is one of the most recognizable songs in the English world, with the message of God's Amazing grace. Through the cross, the soul can be forgiven regardless of all the sins that one may have committed. It is a song of hope that binds people together and sings of the mercies of God. Amazing Grace is perhaps the most popular of all known folk hymns and it is estimated that this song is performed over 10 million times every year! Born in 1725 John Newton was born to a very religious mother, who died when he was only seven and a father who was a sailor. At a very early age he joined his father on the ship and picked up navigation and sailing skills. He spent a major part of his life on the seas, and joined the Royal Navy later on in his life where he eventually participated in slave trade. It was on the slave-ship 'Greyhound' that he had his life's greatest awakening when one night while heading towards England, the already battered ship was hit by a viscous storm. The weary crew fought very hard to keep the ship together and survive another day, since the supplies were already low. John Newton became severely frightened and called out to God for mercy, which marked the beginning of his spiritual journey. After that incident John, who had been an atheist became a firm believer in God's grace, and quit the sea altogether. After several attempts to be ordained as a minister he finally became a parson at the age of 39. In the hymn John Newton mostly talks about his various life experiences.
