John Newton wasn't a religious person. He was a slave trader and when he attepted to steer through a violent storm that would kill him, he prayed," Lord, have mercy on us." He then survived and believed that God had addressed him through the storm and eventually converted thus writing the song "Amazing Grace"

William Wilberforce did not write the song "Amazing Grace." The hymn was actually penned by John Newton in 1772, reflecting Newton's personal transformation from a slave trader to a Christian minister. Wilberforce, a contemporary of Newton, was a strong advocate for the abolition of the slave trade in Britain, inspired by similar values of redemption and social justice. Both men shared a commitment to ending slavery, but their contributions came through different avenues.

I have to say yes and no because this song is from John Newton that was a bad person until he repented when there was no one there to help him and he realized he was lost. John could of wrote it to show what happened to him and how God changed his life. When John Newton give his life to Christ on May 10, 1748 he probably wrote Amazing Grace to show people that committing to Christ is a wonderful thing to do. You have a more wonderful life and more joyful. I am Baptist so I know what's it like to be save and I think that John Newton is meaning Amazing Grace as a positive way to show how his life was and how God changed him around and now that he's glad.
The oldest hymn included in the Baptist hymnal is "Amazing Grace," written by John Newton in the 18th century.
Yes, John Newton, the man who wrote Amazing Grace had at least one. He (John) was my grandmother (on my father's side) was John's great granddaughter. When my grandmother was a little girl, she was from Georgia, her family had slaves. I was always ashamed of this. So was she. My Grandmother, a Newton, married my grandfather, a Westmoreland, and she moved to Texas with him.
