Every 365 days some of us get another chance at life. I will admit that last year was not all that I planned for it to be. My humanity got in the way. So did my age. I have no one else to blame. One of the most wonderful things is that God has given me another opportunity time and time again. In spite of all the failures and stumbling blocks God allowed me to go on in this life day after day, week after week, month after month and year after year. That is not something I deserve. Something I do not deserve is, simply put, the grace of God. Several years ago, I heard a song called "No Other Word for Grace but Amazing." Here are the words:
Red can’t explain the beauty of the rose, White can’t tell the magic in the air when it snows;
Marvelous can’t captivate the grace of the King, The only word for grace is amazing.
There’s no other word for grace but amazing, No other explanation will do;
Unmerited favor, the song that I sing, No other word for grace but amazing.
Now the Father looked beyond all the failures I had made, He didn’t seem to notice all the times that I had not obeyed; He overlooked all the scars of sin I had in me, But the grace He showed still amazes me.
There’s no other word for grace but amazing No other explanation will do;
Unmerited favor, the song that I sing. No other word for grace but amazing.
Unmerited favor, the song that I sing. No other word for grace but amazing. There’s no other word for grace but amazing.
If God lets us live another year, it will certainly be by God's grace, and, as the song says, the only word for grace is amazing. As we near 2013, remember that life and everything in it are by the amazing grace of God.
