who wrote the hymn amazing grace how sweet the sound
Amazing Grace "Amazing Grace" is a Christian hymn published in 1779, with words written by the English poet and Anglican clergyman John Newton (1725â€“1807).
By the Grace of God (song) "By the Grace of God" is a song by American singer Katy Perry from her fourth studio album, Prism (2013), included as its closing track. The song was written and produced by Perry and Canadian record producer Greg Wells. It was conceived following Perry's divorce from English actor and comedian Russell Brand. This initially made Perry consider making a "darker" album, but instead was channeled into the song. Throughout its autobiographical lyrics, Perry is depicted finding her strength and standing up for herself.
