"God's abundant provision of grace"

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

you are not under the law, but under grace" 

~ Romans 6:14

"One thing I do know.  I was blind but now I see!" 

~ John 9:25

Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear

and Grace, my fears relieved.

How precious did that Grace appear the hour I first believed.

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love drives out fear." 

~ 1 John 4:18

"You believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy" 

~ 1 Peter 1:8

Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come;

Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far 

and Grace will lead me home.

"You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day" 

~ Psalm 91:5

"My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes"

The Lord has promised good to me.  

His Word my hope secures.

He will my shield and portion be, as long as life endures.

"My shield is God Most High" 

~ Psalm 7:10

When we've been here ten thousand years, 

bright shining as the sun.

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

than when we've first begun.

"They will not need the light of the sun, 

for the Lord God will give them light" 

~ Revelation 22:5

"Let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise" 

~ Hebrews 13:15
