Oh, Isn't It Amazing?

 ...For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. John I:16

Oh, isn’t it amazing as we stand where morning’s door

Swings softly outward beckoning where none have gone before

And gold melts into puddles where the gray of yesterday

Is gone and done, and God alone rolls out Time’s untried way

Oh, isn’t it amazing how with shadow, there is light

How God, in loving tenderness slips new day over night

And then in eager fullness He, in spite of our mistakes

Spills mercy into morning pouring more grace upon grace

Oh, isn’t it amazing, how where apprehensions groan

God begs us to go boldly into this day’s new Unknown

For He will never leave us or forget this troubled place

But with His fullness satisfies Want, with grace upon grace

Oh, isn’t it amazing, though our track-record is grim

Still love implores with open doors and glimpses rich with Him

For God, so rich in mercy from a high and holy place

Pours into us His fullest blessing of grace upon grace
