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... That song is probably the most well known Hymn in our world today, but how many really understand its meaning. To Christians, this song is so meaningful. We were lost in sin, no hope, no future, and were on our way to Hell. But Jesus showed us the light, salvation to any who repent of their sin. John Newton, the writer of this amazing song, was a Captain of a slave ship for 20 years. If you ever read about him, God did a mighty work in his life, and he is in Heaven now praising God. When you sing this song, think on the words. I just read it in my devotions, and how powerful this song is. Praise God for His Amazing Grace!!
