This passage is not directly from the Bible. But from the revelation of John Newton, who wrote the hymn, "Amazing Grace." But I have some other verses that correlate w/ the phrase you were looking for.
John Newton- Sailor, Captain of a slave ship, importing them in the Americas, & England. After his conversion, he still made 3 more slave trade shipments before the conviction of what he was doing was over powering. He later helped to end the slavery trade in England.
The origianel name for the hymn was "Faith's review & study."
1st Chronicles 17:16-17
Eph. 1:7
I hope this helped, blessings on your journey!

It's not from the Bible, it's a hymn ("Amazing Grace") written by a former slaver who became a Christian minister.
"...the first two words of John Newton’s famous hymn express their author’s wonder and awe that such a wretched sinner could enjoy God’s eternal redemption. The dramatic story—of a rebellious young lad leaving home, going to sea, becoming a slave trader, living a decadent life, becoming enslaved himself during a period of delirium, passing through a terrifying storm, yielding at last to the love of God, and becoming a minister of the gospel—has captured the hearts of millions. Newton’s experience adds weight to his already weighty words:
Amazing grace—how sweet the sound—that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see.
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved; how precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed!
Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come; ‘tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.
Commenting on Newton’s extraordinary life, Kenneth Osbeck says, “Until the time of his death at age 82, John Newton never ceased to marvel at the grace of God that transformed him so completely. Shortly before his death he is quoted as proclaiming with a loud voice during a message, ‘My memory is nearly gone, but I remember two things: That I am a great sinner and that Christ is a great Savior!’ What amazing grace!”
