Grace will lead me Home.

I grew up in a very traditional Church.  To many that may seem very foreign. We sang no contemporary worship songs and the service was set up the same--I had the bulletin memorized but would still look at it every five minutes to see what came next.  Maybe it made the time go by faster, or maybe it was a habit.  Hymns were a part of my life, and I have may that  really enjoy and will always get something out of them when we sing them.  

While at school I have been going to the same Church for about a year but today I went to a different Church, The Summit Church, with one of my friends.  It was a great experience.  The message today was that we are all lost and even if we have come to know Jesus, everyday we wander astray due to our sinful nature.  We are in constant need of Jesus' guidance, and we never run out of re-do's.  Unending Love, Amazing Grace.  At the end of the service we sang Amazing Grace, one of my all time favorite Hymns.  The lyrics speak for themselves.  What an Amazing God with Unending Love and Amazing Grace. 

True Grit, a movie I would recommend to anyone! It was a great movie, and showed the joy in the simplicity of life.  Mattie Ross, a fireball of a girl who is on a mission to avenge her fathers death, says in the beginning of the movie, "You must pay for everything in this world, one way and another. There is nothing free except the Grace of God."  How very true and so well said?  Without the grace of God I would be so very lost.  And it is the Grace of God that I am forever grateful for--It is Grace that has brought me safe thus far and it is Grace that will lead me Home.


Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.


Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.


The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.


Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.


Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
