On Today’s episode of the Kerusso Daily Devotional, we talk about John Newton, the author of “Amazing Grace.”

 

Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now am found

T'was blind but now I see

 

John Newton the Anglican priest penned 280 thoughtful hymns to accompany his sermons, but before he became a minister, he was an active participant in the slave trade — even after he became a Christian believer. Talk about needing God’s grace!
