Amazing Grace was written by John Newton in 1772 as a hymn to express gratitude for his own spiritual transformation. Newton, a former slave trader, wrote the song to reflect on his own experiences and newfound beliefs in God's grace and forgiveness. It became popular as a powerful testimony of redemption and has since been embraced as a timeless Christian hymn.
