I. Testimony of Grace

• John Newton 1725-1807– Conversion 1748– Slave trade 1749-1754– Amazing Grace 1779

• John Fredrick Sykes ~1972– Aretha Franklin– Johnny Cash

Amazing grace! How sweet the soundThat 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 appearThe 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.
