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! |

The Lord hath promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures. |

When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we first begun. |

We are familiar with the hymn "Amazing Grace." Although this is a good hymn, it does not speak of the Triune God as our portion for our enjoyment. When this hymn was written, the experiential knowledge of God among the Lord's people had not come to this point. Even as recent as fifty years ago, Christians did not have the understanding of grace as the Triune God experienced and enjoyed by us. But standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before us, we have come to know that grace is far more than merely unmerited favor. Grace is the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—processed for our experience and enjoyment.

But for the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, where would I be by now? The amazing grace of God is just unbelievable even when we did not deserve His Love He still came down to show us how deep His love for us stands. Thank You Jesus for dying on the cross to save a sinner like me. I love You more Jesus.

Mary, thank you for this beautiful story of John Newton.
Your elegance in description is truly touching.
I feel I have seen Grace tonight expressed in my life, thus the words of the hymn speak to me now more deeply at an older age, even after a long recollection of hearing this hymnal spoken and sung by my own father and mother from childbirth.
This, is Grace, and your story of hope, or sharing Newtons rebirth and renewal story, is Grace in the form of hope.
Many blessings to you.
