Keywords: Gospel, Religion, Christian, Scottish, Hymn, slavery, redemption, hope, love, Newton wrote the words from personal experience. He grew up without any particular religious conviction but his life's path was formed by a variety of twists and coincidences that were often put into motion by his recalcitrant insubordination. He was pressed into the Royal Navy and became a sailor, eventually participating in the slave trade. One night a terrible storm battered his vessel so severely that he became frightened enough to call out to God for mercy, a moment that marked the beginning of his spiritual conversion.
The Psalm The Lords My Sheppard fits perfectly with melody which is strange considering it was written over 2000 years before.
A hit for someone I think.
