Our Greatest Awe of All

 Today's Daily Bread Bible reading is one of my favorite passages of scripture;

Eph.2:4-10

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 

 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ

 (by grace you have been saved), 

 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 

 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace

 in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 

 For by grace you have been saved through faith, 

and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 

 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, 

which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Marvelous Grace

The wonders of creation, too manifold to tell

Still pale when in comparison to Living Water’s well

A worldwide invitation to come, to taste and see

The wonders of salvation through grace that sets us free

Where no more condemnation awaits all who believe

In He who paid our pardon, so mortal may receive

Redemption, thus exemption from death’s inherent doom

The hour of repentance, the flower of the tomb

Where the grave has no power, because of Calvary

Where Jesus became our scapegoat and victory

Where all who come to Jesus, He will not turn away

He gave His life to free us from Debt we could not pay

Then come, taste and behold through faith, Mercy's miracle 

The wonders of salvation, our greatest awe of all
