A New Song in My Mouth...

Just about every day I wake up with a song in my mind and on my heart. Today that song is, "Your Grace Still Amazes Me". It's a song that we did in choir about two years ago and I had the solo part so it is well engraved in my mind. Truth is, I've been thinking a lot about grace lately. Grace is God's Unmerited Favor that He has toward us. We did nothing to earn it. Truth is, we can do nothing to earn it. Truly amazing that God chooses to give it to us anyway. You know where I fall short? I live in fear that God's Grace only reaches so far and then, zap, I've gone too far. That if I commit that one unimaginable sin, He is waiting to strike me down at any moment. So grateful that His Truth is so much greater than mine and praying for the day that I no longer live in the fear that so often tries to steal my joy.

My Faithful Father
Enduring Friend
Your tender mercy's like a river with no end.
It overwhelms me, covers my sin
Each time I come into Your presence,
I stand in wonder once again.

Cause Your grace, still amazes me
And Your love, is such a mystery
Each day, I fall on my knees
Cause Your grace still amazes me.

Oh Patient Savior, You make me whole
You are the Author and the Healer of my soul
What can I give You
Lord, what can I say?
I know there's no way to repay You
Only to offer You my praise.

Cause Your grace, still amazes me
And Your love, is such a mystery
Each day, I fall on my knees
Cause Your grace still amazes me.

It's deeper, It's wider, It's stronger, It's higher
than anything my eyes can see.

Your grace, It still amazes me
And Your love, is such a mystery
Each day, I fall on my knees
Cause Your grace still amazes me,
Your grace still amazes me.

Father I thank You for Your Grace. I thank You that You so often give me what I don't deserve. I thank You that You will never leave me nor forsake me. I thank You for the new song in my mouth, this hymn of praise to You. Lord, let my words be few, but my praise be plenty. In Your Sweet Name I pray...
