He was a slave trader who nearly died in a shipwreck, but eventually became a Minister of the gospel. In 1773, John Newton penned the famous hymn, “Amazing Grace,” drawing inspiration from his own life. As you read this, you can testify of this same Amazing grace in your life. Be blessed as you meditate on these words.
- 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! - Thro’ many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
Tis grace hath brought me safe thus Far,
And grace will lead me home. - The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
5 And when this flesh and heart shall fail
And mortal life shall cease
I shall possess within the veil
A life of joy and peace.
- When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s grace,
Than when we first began.
“From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another.” (John 1:16)
Remain inspired!
