The Grace Effect


Humility 

Sacrifice 

True Love

Repentance 

A Chance 

A Choice 

Abundance 

Everlasting 

Life Changing 

Salvation 

Unconditional 

These are some words that come to mind when I think of Grace

This Grace that is here to save the human race

This Grace that we can so easily forget...

and some still aren't willing to admit

 

That Jesus died upon the cross

Knowing fully what it would cost

That only a few... would change there views while others... sit quietly in the church pews

He begged God to change His fate...but still died for your classmates

He prayed and cried tears of blood...but still carries you through the flood

He had to get His heart right... to make sure one day,,, you and God would be tight 

Nails in both wrist, through both feet...wishing He could just retreat 

We hurled our insults but did not understand that Jesus Christ was in fact the Son of Man

Beaten beyond recognition

Yet we still lack conviction 

Tempted to give the angles a call

Yet still decided to die for us all 

With one last breath Jesus cried "Elio, Elio Lama Sabachthani" 

Meaning "My God, My God why have you forsaken me?" 

Now do we see? 

Jesus died the death we deserve

Have you not heard?

Christ died for all of us!

Repentance and Baptism? Why should we fuss? 

God's Grace is what brought us here, so don't be afraid to shed your tears

Lay down your life and all its defects and let God's Grace take effect!
