• Song: Covered by Planetshakers

    God freely extends grace to us every day.  Our sin, shame, and failures have been covered by our Savior on the cross.  We didn’t do anything to deserve His love, mercy, and grace yet He freely gave it to us.  Thankful that my sin has been covered by my Savior.

    Grace, glorious grace, grace, glorious grace
    At the cross You called it finished
    Grace, wonderful grace, grace, wonderful grace
    At the cross all of my sin is

    Covered, covered, covered by Your grace

    Grace, beautiful grace, grace, beautiful grace
    At the cross, love everlasting
    Grace, powerful grace, grace, powerful grace
    At the cross all of my past is

    Covered, covered, covered by Your grace, 

    No matter what I’ve done, no matter where I’ve been
    No matter how I fall, You pick me up again
    You have removed my shame, You take me as I am
    You call me justified, (now I am covered by) now I am covered by Your grace

  • Let Mercy Hold You by Jason Crabb

    When the road is winding through the darkness,
    And the load is heavy as your heart is now,
    And you’re full of doubt,

    Every night is holding back a sunrise,
    Every storm, shadowing a blue sky,
    I know it’s hard,
    When there’s nothing else you can do,
    So let mercy hold you,

    So let the valley teach you how to sing,
    And still believe, grace is everything you need,
    It’s only here you’ll see,

    Joy is coming with the morning,
    You just gotta wait for the dawn to break,
    Joy is coming with the morning,
    Don’t lose hope…

  • Song: “God With Us” by MercyMe

    I have heard this song multiple times but two weeks ago I a phrase in this song jumped out at me and has been stuck in my mind.  Great song!  The phrase that has stood out to me is “Such a tiny offering, compared to Calvary”  The time I take to have quiet time, taking a meal to a friend in need, eating healthier, and other activities are such a tiny offering when you look at what He did for me.  Yet there are days I complain about the busy schedule and curve balls life throws my direction when those are merely speed bumps to get my attention.  Hope you enjoy this song as much as I did.

  • Song: “Beautiful” by Francesca Battistelli

    We were able to hear Francesca Battistelli in concert a couple months ago.  It was great hearing her sing and learn a little more about her.  She sang several songs that evening so it was hard to pick one of my favorites.  This song stands out to me and I love beautiful things.  The most beautiful gift I have been given is grace and mercy even though I am totally undeserving.

     

  • Song: “From The Inside Out” by Hillsong

    Even though I fail many times every day He is always faithful.   The first verse of this song hits home for me every time I hear it:

    “A thousand times I’ve failed

    Still Your mercy remains

    And should I stumble again

    I’m caught in Your grace.”

    I am thankful to have a Savior who chooses to extend grace, mercy, and love to me even though I don’t deserve it.
