Additional quotes by John Newton

"Who is there who speaks and it happens — unless the Lord has ordained it?" Lamentations 3:37

I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I want to be, I am not what I hope to be in another world; but still I am not what I once used to be, and by the grace of God I am what I am

Savior, if of Zion’s city I through grace a member am; Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name Fading is the worldling’s pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure, None but Zion’s children know.

But that we are so totally depraved, is a truth which no one ever truly learned by being only told it. - John Newton
