The Amazing Grace of God

    Ah, The amazing grace of God. I could meditate on His loving grace all day long. Can we truly appreciate what God has done for us? Recently at church we sang the modern version of John Newton's old-time great Christian song, "Amazing Grace". As we sang I concentrated on the words to this song, and I became in awed with them. God was truly using John Newton to give us understanding of the saving work Jesus Christ did for us on the cross. It is a gift given to all mankind. Please read the words to this song. Meditate on them, and try to sense and feel the love God has for you as you read.

Amazing Grace Lyrics

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.

T'was 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...

we have already come.

T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...

and Grace will lead us home.

The Lord has promised good to me...

His word my hope secures.

He will my shield and portion be...

as long as life endures.

When we've been here ten thousand years...

bright shining as the sun.

We've no less days to sing God's praise...

then when we've first begun.

"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.

    Are you blind and still unable to see? Jesus came into this world to give you light, so would not be blind.

John 1: 1-5 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

John 1: 9-10 9The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world. 10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.

John 1: 12-13 12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

John 1: 14 14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

  I pray if you do not have the grace and the truth of God in your life as yet, that you will come into His glorious light. I have written my book, "I See Him...I See Him! God's WORD to Witness By" to help you to do just that. May the Holy Spirit lead you to find the one and only true God that saves. May God richly bless you.

God loves you and so do I!
