amazing grace



Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m 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


My chains are gone
I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace


The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbid to shine
But, God who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine


For the past few weeks or a month and so, this song seems to speak to me. It's sun lik many times in church then to top it off, sung by Chris Tomlin himself when i was at the Passion concert. It's based on a hymn but Louie Giglio and Chris Tomlin made some 'adjustments' to the song..by adding new words and all..
Indeed there are times i feel unworthy, weak, not good enough, undeserving, etc etc. To think about it, I think God's grace has carried me thru. I guess i can say without His grace, i dont think i be even blogging here happily. I dont know what i will do without His grace. Times when i feel down, God remind me of His grace.
Someone once told me the flow of the song. It's like the past, the present and the future. 1st verse is about the past, the 2nd verse is like the present and 3rd verse is about the future. God's grace is here to stay no matter what period. Indeed He is the Alpha and the Omega. Same God that work in the days of Adam, King David, Paul also work in us today.
Thank You Lord for Your grace. A grace that i can hold on for eternity.
Unending love, amazing grace.
