In a stormy sea, he was saved by God, so he decided to repent thoroughly, devoted his life to spreading the gospel of God, and became a preacher in the19th century.

Before he died, he wrote an epitaph for himself: "Pastor John Newton used to be a man who did evil and didn't believe in God. He used to be the master of African slaves. 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.

This song is full of his remorse for the past slave trade and gratitude to God. Nevertheless, God still bless him.
