grace

sister says: love me.
dad says: love me as i am.


she says: this is a demand.
he says: this is a plea.


daughter, you have been so loved,
when wretched, hopeless, darkened, blind
when disdaining Me, My enemy
when weak and confined


yet in My deep mercy I called you
even then I sought you
with great love with which I loved you.


I loved you. 


your family will fail you.
your friends will disappoint you.
I will never fail.
I will never leave you.
I will always be with you.


Singing....


        Marvelous grace of our loving Lord, 
	grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt! 
	Yonder on Calvary's mount outpoured, 
	there where the blood of the Lamb was spilt. 
	Grace, grace, God's grace, 
	grace that will pardon and cleanse within; 
	grace, grace, God's grace, 
	grace that is greater than all our sin! 

        Sin and despair, like the sea waves cold, 
	threaten the soul with infinite loss; 
	grace that is greater, yes, grace untold, 
	points to the refuge, the mighty cross. 
	(Refrain) 

	Dark is the stain that we cannot hide. 
	What can avail to wash it away? 
	Look! There is flowing a crimson tide, 
	brighter than snow you may be today. 
	(Refrain) 

	Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace, 
	freely bestowed on all who believe! 
	You that are longing to see his face, 
	will you this moment his grace receive? 
	(Refrain)
