Before he got saved, John Newton was a slave owner who subjected his slaves to extreme cruelty. After he got right with Jesus he became a gifted teacher, pastor, and song writer. By writing "Amazing Grace," he was demonstrating his thankfulness towards God. Few people know that during this time, Mr. Newton was blind.
