I sing this song every time I can’t sleep and I sing this song every time I feel lonely. This was my father-in-law‘s favorite song of all time and my sister-in-law used to sing this song to her children when they were little I hope anyone that hears this song it brings them peace . 😍
This hymn was just mentioned on Public Radio because there is a new book about it. The author was interviewed and I can’t wait to read it. Or maybe there’s an audiobook edition!
It is 3AM and I am holding my newborn granddaughter in my arms after her middle of the night feeding. The words "The Lord has promised good to me. His word my hope secures. He will my shield and portion be, as long as life endures." are going through my heart and mind as I pray for her. The world is so wicked, but our God is so good and great and strong. We who fully trust in him for ourselves and those following after us, will be sustained in this life and the life to come.
Early this morning, as I struggled to sleep in the excruciating pain of a severe sciatic attack, I heard God tell me to sing. I sang Amazing Grace and felt my pain ease greatly. Tears of pain are replaced by heartfelt tears of joy. God is good to those He loves and those who love and obey Him. Alleluia. Blessed Christmas to all, Shalom 🙏 ❤️
We are familiar with the hymn "Amazing Grace." Although this is a good hymn, it does not speak of the Triune God as our portion for our enjoyment. When this hymn was written, the experiential knowledge of God among the Lord's people had not come to this point. Even as recent as fifty years ago, Christians did not have the understanding of grace as the Triune God experienced and enjoyed by us. But standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before us, we have come to know that grace is far more than merely unmerited favor. Grace is the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit—processed for our experience and enjoyment.
