“Only Grace” by Matthew West
There is no guilt here
There is no shame
No pointing fingers
There is no blame
What happened yesterday has disappeared
The dirt has washed away And now it’s clear

[CHORUS]
There’s only grace
There’s only love
There’s only mercy
And believe me it’s enough
Your sins are gone
Without a trace
There’s nothing left now
There’s only grace

You’re starting over now
Under the sun
You’re stepping forward now
A new life has begun
Your new life has begun

And if you should fall again
Get back up, get back up
Reach out and take my hand
Get back up, get back up
Get back up again

When you are struggling. When you have obstacles and life challenges and you think you may be alone. Remember that you are not alone. There is Grace, Hope, Mercy and Love from God, and Jesus Christ.

Remember in that while we all were/are sinners it was by Grace God saved us through the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

We have hope. Hope and there is faith. Hope knowing we have a friend in God and Jesus Christ. You are not alone. There are people who care. There is hope in healing. There is hope for the future. Trials and the sadness of loss will pass. Again you are not alone. God does love you. He loves you so much that He sent His Son into this broken world to save all of us.

There is Mercy. Yet while we are sinners, all of us, living in a broken world; God showed us Mercy, Love, Grace and there is Hope.

There is Grace.  God is perfect. He cannot look upon sin. That is where Jesus Christ comes in. God sent his Son into the world to save us.  In yet while we were sinners, he died for us.  That’s Grace!  Jesus died for each and everyone of us that we may have a close relationship with Him.

We Love. God loves us. There are people, family, friends, and people yet to know that love or will love us.

The media and news like to broadcast the troubles and tragedies of this world, often, but there are so many good things, and good news not broadcasted. There is much goodness and hope.

If you have life, you have a gift. A gift to nurture and encourage. A gift to build and build up others. A gift to grow and continuously grow. You can touch someone else’s life. You can be a blessing to someone you know or a stranger.

There IS Grace, Hope, Mercy and Love.  I am very thankful for that, aren’t you?

Blessings,

DW

“Your Grace Is Enough” by Chris Tomlin
Great is Your faithfulness oh God
You wrestle with the sinner’s heart
You lead us by still waters and to mercy
And nothing can keep us apart

So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise
Oh God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me

Great is Your love and justice God
You use the weak to lead the strong
You lead us in the song of Your salvation
And all Your people sing along

So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise
Oh God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me [x2]

So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise
Oh God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me

Your grace is enough
Heaven reaching down to us
Your grace is enough for me
God I see your grace is enough
I’m covered in your love
Your grace is enough for me
For me
