Music for my soul
My car has something in it that I really wanted when I bought it, but knew if I didn't get it I could live without it. That was a CD player. Praise the Lord, He made sure this one had one. So the one joy I have is to be driving and listening to the music I want to hear! One of my favorite CDs is by the Gaither Vocal Band and it is called "I DO BELIEVE". I love every song on it and as my kids can attest, I play it over and over again. Jen can even sing along and knows the words! I decided I couldn't put all my favorites on this blog, but I did want you to see the words to one of them that makes me cry everytime I sing along with it. The words are so powerful and the music and harmony is so good - I know Heaven will be like this!!
The title is "A SINNER SAVED BY GRACE". I hope you enjoy the words:
"If you could see what I once was
If you could go with me
Back to where I started from
Then I know you would see
A miracle of love that took me in its sweet embrace
And made me what I am today
Just an old sinner - Saved by Grace.
Chorus:
I'm just a sinner saved by grace
When I stood condemned to death
He took my place
Now I live and breathe in freedom
With each breath of life I take
Loved and forgiven
Back with the living
I'm just a sinner saved by grace.
How could I boast of anything I've ever seen or done?
How could I dare to claim as mine the victories God has won?
Where would I be had God not brought me gently to this place?
I'm here to say I'm nothing but a sinner saved by grace."
-Gloria and Bill Gaither, Richard Humphries
I really like the last verse the best. It is the testimony of my life! I'm only here because God loved me enough to send His Son to the earth to die for MY sins!! I am so unworthy, but I know I am so loved!!
