SONGS IN THE NIGHT!

SONGS IN THE NIGHT!

Ps 42:8

8 Yet the Lord  will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

          Last night, as I pillowed my head, I began my prayers as always but I couldn’t sustain them. I couldn’t hold my attention upon any one prayer need. Instead, I began to think of the many blessings God had poured upon me and how little I had done to deserve them. One old song, best sung a cappella, kept playing in my mind.

Grace Greater Than Our Sin

Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,
Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt!
Yonder on Calvary's mount outpoured,
There where the blood of the Lamb was spilled.

Sin and despair, like the sea waves cold,
Threaten the soul with infinite loss;
Grace that is greater, yes, grace untold,
Points to the refuge, the mighty cross.

Dark is the stain that we cannot hide.
What can we do to wash it away?
Look! There is flowing a crimson tide,
Brighter than snow you may be today.

Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
Freely bestowed on all who believe!
You that are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace receive?

Chorus:

Grace! Grace! God’s Grace!

Grace that will pardon and cleanse within!

Grace! Grace! God’s Grace!

Grace that is greater than all our sin.

Dear Lord, let your lovingkindness be shown to me today and let your songs be my prayer. AMEN
