AMAZING GRACE

One of my favorite hymns is Amazing Grace. There is so much power in these beautiful words. Just look:

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
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
This grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright, shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun
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

Where did these touching words come from? Amazing Grace was written by John Newton in 1772. A new book by the same title, Amazing Graceis the surprising true story of Newton. This biography reads more like a novel and reveals Newton’s dramatic story of sin and salvation as a slave trader before his ultimate transformation to speaking out against the horror of slavery. His story speaks to the brokenness within us all and our need for God’s amazing grace—and reveals the truth behind his song.

Amazing Grace is a beautiful and powerful story. I loved hearing the story behind this song that has touched the lives of millions over the last 251 years.
