So, I've been thinking a lot about grace.  About how everything in life is grace.  Today being Good Friday, I have been thinking about saving grace and how amazing it is to think that God loves us so much that He would die for our sin so that we can be with Him forever.  But, it's even deeper than that.  I mean, the moment I sinned for the first time, I deserved death.  Not only death, but Hell.  Yet, God graciously offered me life and every time I sin, God again offers me life.  He never, even for a moment, stops bestowing grace upon my life.  What an awesome God we serve. 

FIFTY YEARS AGO TODAY
SHE GAVE HER ONLY CHILD AWAY
TO LIVE A LIFE EASY TO REGRET
YEARS WENT BY HOW TIME HAS FLOWN
HER DAYS ARE MOSTLY SPENT ALONE
DARING TO REMEMBER HOPING TO FORGET

THIS IS MY BODY
BROKEN FOR YOU
FOR ALL YOU’VE BEEN
AND ALL YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH
THIS IS MY BLOOD
AND WHEN YOU'VE REACHED THE END
I OFFER YOU AGAIN
THE BODY AND BLOOD

HE FOUGHT A WAR AGAINST HIS WILL
TRUTH BE KNOWN HE'S FIGHTING STILL
HE LOOKS FOR HOPE
THROUGH NARROW BLOODSHOT EYES
HE SLIPS INTO A POLISHED PEW
LINGERS FOR AN HOUR OR TWO
SOMETIMES IT FEELS BETTER
TO SIT AND CRY A WHILE

THIS IS MY BODY
BROKEN JUST FOR YOU
FOR ALL YOU’VE BEEN
AND ALL YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH
THIS IS MY BLOOD
AND WHEN YOU'VE REACHED THE END
I OFFER YOU AGAIN
THE BODY AND BLOOD

ONE BY ONE WE TAKE THE COMMON CUP
WE REMEMBER AND WE LIFT IT UP

THIS IS MY BODY
BROKEN JUST FOR YOU
FOR ALL YOU’VE BEEN
AND ALL YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH
THIS IS MY BLOOD
AND WHEN YOU'VE REACHED THE END
I OFFER YOU AGAIN
THE BODY AND BLOOD

THIS IS MY BLOOD
AND WHEN YOU'VE REACHED THE END
I OFFER YOU AGAIN
THE BODY AND BLOOD
