What Grace is Mine

As we face another Sunday at home, it could be tempting to find little to praise God for if we focus on the negative of our circumstances. That is always a temptation. However, our eyes see much more clearly when we set them on Christ above, on our life (cf. Colossians 3:1-4). Daily this is our privilege and our joy. Daily we are to remind ourselves of the greatness and the beauty of the grace of God. We are to remind our souls of the steadfast love of the Lord.

As we dwell on that reality. As we dwell on who God is and who he is for us…we cannot help but praise and give thanks. And it calls for the response, beyond praise, of our lives - following him wherever he may lead. The one who would give us life by the sacrifice of his son….this one is absolutely worth following and he is absolutely worth everything we can give because we know in him we have all things (Romans 8:32).

So let us steadfastly sing and make melody to our great God!

My heart is steadfast, O God, 

my heart is steadfast! 

I will sing and make melody! 

Awake, my glory! 

Awake, O harp and lyre! 

I will awake the dawn! 

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples; 

I will sing praises to you among the nations. 

10 For your steadfast love is great to the heavens, 

your faithfulness to the clouds. 

11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! 

Let your glory be over all the earth!  (Psalm 57:7-11)

This morning, here is a song by Keith and Kristyn Getty called “What Grace is Mine.”

What grace is mine that He who dwells in endless light
Called through the night to find my distant soul
And from His scars poured mercy that would plead for me
That I might live and in His name be known

So I will go wherever He is calling me
I lose my life to find my life in Him
I give my all to gain the hope that never dies
I bow my heart take up my cross and follow Him

What grace is mine to know His breath alive in me
Beneath His wings my wakened soul may soar
All fear can flee for death's dark night is overcome
My Savior lives and reigns for evermore

So I will go wherever He is calling me
I lose my life to find my life in Him
I give my all to gain the hope that never dies
I bow my my heart take up my cross and follow Him
I bow my heart take up my cross and follow Him
