Amazing Grace 4K na Catedral de Notre Dame restaurada
What an awesome performance of this classic hymn. It is by far my favorite, especially when Aretha Franklin sang it. Written in 1772 by English clergyman and poet John Newton and published in 1779. I would speculate it's the most sung and recorded hymn in the world.
Newton wrote the hymn after a very frightening experience on a slave ship as a member of the Royal Navy. It made him leave the trade and seek religion. He was ordained in the Church of England in 1764.
The hymn was written to signify that forgiveness and redemption are possible regardless of sins committed. 🙏💖🙏
