Amazing Grace.

 This is the song that never grows old. The anthem of every soul who has been rescued from darkness and brought into marvelous light. The testimony of sinners saved by grace.

"Amazing grace."

The Scripture That Echoes It:

Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."

Titus 2:11: "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people."

Romans 5:20-21: "Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

2 Corinthians 12:9: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

The Words That Changed the World:

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.

What Makes Grace So Amazing?

· It is undeserved. You didn't earn it. You can't earn it. It is a gift freely given.

· It is unending. No matter how far you wander, grace is there to welcome you back.

· It is sufficient. In weakness, in failure, in doubt—grace is enough.

· It is transformative. Grace doesn't just forgive; it changes. The wretch becomes a child. The lost becomes found. The blind sees.

A Prayer of Wonder:

"Amazing grace,

how sweet the sound

that saved a soul like mine.

I once was lost—

wandering, searching, empty.

But You found me.

I once was blind—

unable to see Your love,

unable to see the truth.

But now I see.

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,

I have already come.

Your grace has brought me safe thus far,

and grace will lead me home.

Lord, let this grace never grow ordinary to me.

Let it always amaze me.

Let it always humble me.

Let it always draw me back to You.

For I am what I am by Your grace alone.

In Jesus' name,

Amen."

The Promise That Remains:

When we've been there ten thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun,

We've no less days to sing Your praise

Than when we'd first begun.

Your grace is not just for the moment of salvation. It is for every moment after—for every stumble, every doubt, every day you need to be found again.

Amazing grace.

It found you.

It saved you.

It keeps you.

It will bring you home.
