John Newton was more than a slave owner between England and Africa, for at one point he was the servant of slaves in Africa.  Yet, by the marvelous grace of Christ, he was saved.  His song would later become one of the most popular songs around the world, sung by saints and sinners alike.  However, only the truly redeemed can understand its true meaning and power.  This is the story of "Amazing Grace" in today's episode of Heritage Hymns.
