QUOTE John Newton:

• “I am not what I could be,

• I am not what 1 should be,

• But I am not what I used to be"

• How imperfect and deficient I am!

• I am not what I wish to be,

• Although I abhor that which is evil and would cleave to what is good.

• I am not what I hope to be,

• But soon I shall put off mortality, and with it all sin.

• Though I am not what I ought to be, nor what I wish to be, nor yet what I hope to be,

• I can truly say I am not what I once was: a slave to sin and Satan.

• I can heartily join with the apostle and acknowledge;

• That by the grace of God I am what I am!”
