The lyrics of amazing grace were written by John Newton, an American white man who was born in London in 1725. The lyrics are simple, full of confessions of piety and gratitude, and they are also the testimony of his life. John Newton once sold black slaves and did many evils, but later he went to Africa. In a stormy sea, he was saved by God, so he decided to repent thoroughly and devoted his life to spreading the gospel of God, becoming a great preacher in the19th century. Before he died, he wrote an epitaph for himself: "Pastor John Newton was once a man who had committed a crime and didn't believe in God. He used to be a slave in Africa. But through the abundant mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ, he was kept, reconciled with God, forgiven his sins, and was appointed to preach the gospel. " This poem bears witness to his life's salvation.
