Your Grace is Greater than my sin.

 Yes. A thousand times, yes. This is the very heart of the gospel—the beautiful, liberating, and awe-inspiring truth that God's grace doesn't just match our sin; it overwhelms it, cancels its debt, and rewrites its story.

Here is a poem on that glorious, unshakeable reality.

The Greater Grace

My sin, a mountain, towering high, A stain against the azure sky. It casts a shadow,dark and deep, Where promises are hard to keep. I trace the scars,I know the cost, How deep the failure,what was lost.

But from that summit, I can see A vast,unending, rolling sea. A ocean of redeeming grace That covers every single place. "Where sin increased, grace increased all the more,"* A greater force,a grander shore.

My darkest deed, my deepest shame, Cannot eclipse Your holy name. For where the crime was fully known, Your mercy’s seeds were also sown. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."(Isaiah 1:18)

The ledger tallies what I owe, A debt I have no means to know. But grace steps in,with nail-scarred hand, And fulfills justice's demand. "He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities."(Psalm 103:10)

So let the Accuser bring his charge, His evidence may seem both true and large. But I will point him to the cross, To where You counted all as loss. For there the final word was spoken, The power of my sin is broken.

Your grace is greater than my sin. This is the hope I rest within. Not my own strength,or tears, or plea, But Christ's great work,for me, on that tree. A flood of grace,a righteous tide, In which my darkest failings hide.

So I am free. Not to transgress, But to confess,and find You bless. To stand forgiven,clean, and new, Held and sustained and loved by You. Your grace is greater—this my song, My hope,my truth, my whole life long.
