Here’s our take on this timeless anthem, in a moving arrangement by David Downes, and accompanied on piano by Dr David Kram in this live performance. "Amazing Grace" was written in 1772–1773 by John Newton, a former English slave ship captain turned Anglican minister, as a personal testimony of conversion and divine mercy following a near-death shipwreck. Mia Sorella, singing with faith and passion, breathe new life into the immortal words of this sacred ode.
