Grace So Amazing

Many things may amaze us
but nothing like God's grace
it simply astounds us who believe
God stoops down to this sinful place

This God is so perfect and holy
nothing impure enters His own abode
for He hates sin so much
one day He'll make it explode

But this God displays a perfect love
which has no defect or flaw
seeking to love imperfect man
makes us all stand in awe

For God sent His only son to death
being crucified on a wooden tree
so paying the price of our sin
thus redeeming us to be free

Justifying us by His grace
removing our sin making us clean
for God looks on those that believe
without sin as if never has been

This is simply amazing grace
God eternal always to be
wonderful news open your ears
loving sinners like you and me

Very beautiful and so true Gordon. God truly is exceptional and such a forgiving God. You really wrote this so amazingly. Have a blessed day buddy. Keep well, keep writing and keep smiling. We are all exceptional in God's eyes and that alone is reason to be thankful and to live the life God chose for us :) "B"
