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

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

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

Been listening to this song lately. Reminds me of many things..

"How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed"

Reminds me of God's grace. It's been almost two years since I accepted Christ. It was through God's grace that I came to know Him. And that grace never stopped, even for a second. When I reflect upon all that has happened throughout these two years, all that I've been through, without His grace, I would've never went through all of that emerging victorious. It was His grace that kept me going on. And in the years to come, it's going to be God's grace that will give me strength to keep on persevering, waiting upon Him.

"The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures"

Reminds me that God is always the same, forever and ever. People always change. People always break promises. People always disappoint. After experiencing all of this, the only one that I can truly trust and hope in is God, for his love, his grace, remains the same forever.

"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"

Reminds me of God's love. It's through God's love that Jesus died for us on the cross. God's one and only beloved Son, to lay aside His royalty, to wear the sinner's crown. I don't think I can ever truly grasp how much God really loves us. It would be beyond my imagination. One thing I know for sure is that His unending love covers me and has set me free of all the chains that have been holding me all my life. I am a new creation in Him.

"But God who called me here below
Will be forever mine, will be forever mine
You are forever mine"

I live for God, and I'll forever belong to Him.

To God, we're but mere specks of dust in His sight. But, he loves all of us so much that it cannot even be described in words. But yet, we sin and say things against Him at times. And yet when we ask for forgiveness and repent, he forgives us and continues to love us. How can there be greater love than this?

Thank you Lord, for your love, for your grace in my life.
Thank you Lord, that you are my God.
