Amazing Grace

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found; twas 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.

The Lord has promised good to me, his word my hope secures;
he will my shield and portion be, a long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil, a life of joy and peace.

When we've been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise than when we'd first begun.

Words by John Newton

This is one of the most famous songs in the world. Christian's and non-Christian's around the world hold its melody and words in high regard. Yet, all too often, we never take the time to ponder its power. How often do we stop through out our day and thank God for His grace? For we truly are wretched people and don't deserve the love He so lavishly pours out upon us.

This week I have been reminded yet again how amazing His grace is. There is nothing that can ever compare to the freedom that given knowing that there is nothing I can ever do or not do that could ever make God love me any less or any more than He already does.

That my friend's is truly Amazing!!
