Grace grater than my weeknesses

Sin and despair like the sea waves cold

Threaten the soul with infinite loss; 

Grace that is greater, yes, grace untold

Points to the refuge, the Mighty Cross.

Dark is the stain that we cannot hide.

What can avail to wash it away?

Look! there is flowing a crimson tide.

Whiter that snow you may be today.

Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,

freely bestowed on all who believe;

You that are longing to see His face-

Will you this moment His grace receive? 

Grace, grace, God's grace,

Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;

Grace, grace, infinite grace,

Grace that is greater than all our sin.

-"Marvelous Grace of our loving Lord"

The grace of God never fails to blow me away.  We are so undeserving of what He bestows on us. He sees us in our messes, and yet He loves us. He sees us in all of our stuff and He still wants our hearts. He knows that our when we finally surrender to Him we come messy, and insecure... Even in the midst of that He still calls us. 

My God blows me away. 

I don't understand why He loves me, but I am sure glad that He does. I don't understand what He sees in me that He would want my heart, but I give it  freely. I will never be able to comprehend why He's called me... but I would follow Him anywhere. 

I say all of this to say how thankful I am for the Grace of God. 

Thank you Lord for your faithfulness!
