It’s probably the best-known hymn. “Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!” John Newton wrote the words in 1779. He had been a slave ship captain converted to Christianity. Later, he became a priest in the Church of England and worked to oppose slavery. His conversion and changes in his life did not come quickly or easily. Grace did more than save Newton. That’s why his hymn also says, “’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.” God’s grace is at work in our lives from beginning to end. It’s not just for conversion. And it’s not only amazing. It’s limitless!
