This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood... (Romans 3:22-25)

Amazing Grace is probably one of the best known hymns in the world today. It is especially popular in the United States. The words tell of the grace of God - the gift of forgiveness and life that he gives to us freely.
The hymn was written by John Newton, an English man who was born in 1725. As a young man he was captain of a ship that was used for slave-trading. During one voyage he cried out to God for mercy as the ship was tossed about in a storm. His ship was spared and John Newton began his walk towards Christ. He continued to be a slave trader for some years but there was a slow transformation and within the next 20 years Newton had given up this life and had become the parish priest of Olney, a village near London. Whilst here he wrote the the words to the famous hymn, Amazing Grace.
Words
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 It was grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already overcome It was grace that led me safe thus far And grace will bring me home When we've been there a thousand years Bright shining as the sun We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we first begun
