Amazing!

My faithful Father, Enduring Friend
Your tender mercy is 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
Your grace still amazes me
Your love is still a mystery
Each day I fall on my knees 'cause
Your grace still amazes me
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
Your grace still amazes me
Your love is still a mystery
Each day I fall on my knees
Cause Your grace still amazes me
Your grace still amazes me
It's deeper, It's wider, It's stronger, It's higher
It's deeper, It's wider, It's stronger, It's higher
Than anything my eyes can see
Your grace still amazes me
Your love is still a mystery
Each day I fall on my kness
Cause Your grace still amazes me
Your grace still amazes me
(Phillips, Craig & Dean)

I went to the mall yesterday. It was crazy with activity....Easter shopping. Everyone wants a new spring outfit to wear on Sunday morning. I wanted something new, too. I kept wondering though how much the truth was impacting those all around me. Do they know the story? Do they know what He has done for them? AND if they know it, does it amaze them anymore, or has it become just another holiday? an old stale, familiar story?

Sometimes the story is all too familiar to me, too, but yesterday I had Good Friday on my mind. I remembered that before the resurrection came the cross. I cannot for the life of me (and honestly, for the "life of me" is exactly the reason) figure out why God would do what He did.....for me......for me? It is this amazing thing that no human mind can begin to comprehend, so we make it something less than what it truly is. It is mercy outpoured. It's unconditional love. It is undeserved grace. It is forgiveness. It is AMAZING!
