John Newton Quote

I am not what I once was!
I am not what I ought to be. Ah, how imperfect and deficient.
I am not what I wish to be. I abhor what is evil, and I would cleave to what is good.
I am not what I hope to be. Soon I shall put off, with mortality--all sin and imperfection.
Though I am not what I ought to be, nor what I wish to be, nor what I hope to be--I can truly say that I am not what I once was--a slave to sin and Satan. And I can heartily join with the apostle and say that "by the grace of God I am what I am!" 1 Corinthians 15:10

AMEN!
