Amazing Grace

Recentlyhave been on salvation!The more I try to plumb the depths of God's amazing love and gracethat purchased the gift of salvation to pay the sinner's debt for all who repent and believe and thus receive it,the more I marvel at how impossible it isto fully comprehend amazing grace! or how impossible it is to believe without repentingor repent without believing! Heb.4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. 2 Cor. 5:21For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. But you invite us to sit at Your table, saved by graceNo judgement from the mercy seat that Calvary laid bareAs all who repent and believe become Your dwelling place You could condemn us but instead You, sinless, became sinSo that through You we might become 'the righteousness of God' Not by works lest we boast; salvation, none can earn or winIt is a gift, a gift that leaves believers/receivers humbly awed Then, who is qualified to cast judgment's first stone, pray tellwe, debtors allTo grace, the grace that saves us from eternity in hellWhen truly, truly on Your Name above all names, we call You know our hearts, you hear our prayers, You know that we are dustThe recompense that we deserved You bore, once and for all You are good, holy, merciful, compassionate and justYour everlasting love abides as kingdoms rise and fall Once, I was a prodigal child squandering love and life Once You left the ninety and nine in the fold, to find meAmazing grace, agape I gaze where redemption runs rifeYou reconciled your rebel child and set my doomed soul free The crumbs that fall from Your table, would be too good for meBut you invite me to sit down, beloved and justifiedBy Your amazing grace; I, once condemned have been set freeAnd clothed in robes of righteousness that only You provide Janet Martin Rom.5:6-11 6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.  Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since we have now been justified by his blood,how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
