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. 

'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;

"Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,

And grace will lead me home.

John Newton

. . .It is part of an old hymn, written by an eighteenth century man who sold human beings.  Should you read his biography, you will be stunned by the reversal from his path down toward Hell. His life was transformed, and he became a believer in Jesus Christ.  

Transformation is my story, too. 

  And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. (Rom. 8:28) ESV

Alleluia!
