Your Grace Still Amazes Me

Does it?
Do you still draw yourself to Him? Or are you hiding? You know, we do that sometimes... when Christianity becomes a systemic routine which we follow blindly... it becomes more of a chore, a duty rather than something we would have gladly done willingly... like for a lover.

The "coolness" of being tagged a Christian and "God, I never want to out of Your Love ever again" promise are being replaced by 'no one attends service with me', 'it's too far and too early anyway', 'i feel tired all the time'. Whenever we hit a peak, the trough is waiting. We are sick of politics in church. Church people are waaayyy too "artificially" nice. Our faith turns cold. We don't "feel" Him around when He's needed. We no longer communicate with Him in all honesty and openness. We don't pray as often. Sermons no longer speak to us. The "same-old, same-old" is a drag. Somehow, His Amazing Grace is not so amazing after all. Or is it?

~ Your grace still amazes me ~
~ Your love is still a mystery ~








My faithful Father, enduring Friend
Your tender mercy’s like a river with no end
It overwhelms me, covers my sin
Each time I come into Your presence
I stand in wonder once again

::Chorus::
Your grace still amazes me
Your love is still a mystery
Each day I fall on my knees
Your grace still amazes me
‘Cause Your grace still amazes me

Oh, patient Saviour, You make me whole
You are the Author and the Healer of my soul
What can I give You, Lord, what can I say
I know there’s no way to repay You
Only to offer You my praise

It’s deeper, it’s wider
It’s stronger, it’s higher
It’s deeper it’s wider
It’s stronger, it’s higher
than anything my eyes can see
