Amazing Grace


Amazing Child come from above!
Grace filled His heart --born out of Love--
How could the world not know His face?
Sweet Child of Love-- Pure Child of Grace--
The Star appeared up in the sky,
Sound filled the earth with joyful cries
That echoed out in sweet refrains,
"Saved by Grace, the world from pain!"
A manger rocked where baby laid;
Wretch was I that knelt and prayed ...
Like kings of old that came from far,
Me, I too sought yonder star!
I came and worshipped at His throne!
Once bound by sin, His Glory shone
Was more than what my faults could bare--
Lost, I came and found He cared!
But more than just a Babe I found,
Now in my heart, a Love abounds;
Am happier and filled with Joy,
Found Peace and Hope that none destroys,
Was reconciled back to that place
Blind eyes are opened to His Grace.
But more than just a star arose,
Now in my heart, a Glory glows;
--I know it's shining all around--
See, Christ shines on where Grace abounds.

Just found this, totally awesome.

My perspective of me is different,
As I look out from within,
Than that of others on the outside,
Trying to look in.     ©spirit

Bob I am at a loss for words here. This is impeccable writing! A bit o' Godly inspiration here?  

This is a keeper for sure. Print this one up and frame it on the most obviously wall!

Beautiful work!
