AMAZING GRACE

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see."  (John Newton)


Until the time of his death at the age of 82, John Newton never ceased to marvel at the grace of God that transformed him so completely from a slave trader to a minister of the Lord.  Shortly before his death he is quoted as proclaiming with a loud voice during a message, “My memory is nearly gone, but I remember two things:  That I am a great sinner and that Christ is a great Savior!”  What amazing grace!
