The most classic of the film is the theme song "Amazing Grace", which has been widely circulated since its inception, and it is also a song that I must listen to every morning when I turn on my computer. After listening to it thousands of times, I am always moved in my heart.... Its lyrics are hymns written by the old pastor John Newton based on his own personal experience.

Attached to the lyrics of "Amazing Grace":

Amazing grace, how sweet, my sins have been forgiven;

I was lost before, now I am found, blind now I see,

such grace makes me fear and comfort me;

when I first believed, That is the favor, how precious is it;

many dangers, trials and snares, I have passed safely;

Relying on the grace of the Lord, I am not afraid at all, and even more guide me home; the

coming Jubilee; the saints will gather together, grace and love for a thousand years;

joy and praise, before the throne of the Father, looking forward to the reappearance of that day.
