Amazing Grace

Well, 6 out of the 7 happy people watched the movie amazing grace today
it was about this guy, william wilberforce, who didn't know whether to do the work of God or the work of a political activist (be a politician in other words)
His friend, William Pitt, introduced him to some people who made him rethink, about doing the work of God and that of a political activist at the same time (work of God: to abolish slave trade, work of a political activist: to convince those in the house of Common the same way as he feels by pushing a bill against slavery)

He was inspired by John Newton (the guy who wrote amazing grace and was captain of slave ships) and worked hard against the slave trade..

However, his numerous failures arose from the greediness of the other politicians(who were for the slave trade as it was profittable). He nearly gave up but regained his passion after knowing his future wife..

He fought for the bill for over 20 years and when he finally won, it was bittersweet victory for him

Amazing grace How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

(c)My chains are goneI've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures (c)

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine
