Saved By Grace Alone

And I shall see Him 
face to face,
And tell the story:
saved by grace.
- Fanny J. Crosby -





Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Greater than all my sin;
How shall my tongue describe it,
Where shall its praise begin?
Taking away my burden,
Setting my spirit free;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching to all the lost,
By it I have been pardoned,
Saved to the uttermost,
Chains have been torn asunder,
Giving me liberty;
For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Wonderful grace of Jesus,
Reaching the most defiled,
By its transforming power,
Making him God’s dear child,
Purchasing peace and heaven,
For all eternity;
And the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me.

Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea;
Wonderful grace, all sufficient for me, for even me.
Broader than the scope of my transgressions,
Greater far than all my sin and shame,
O magnify the precious Name of Jesus.
Praise His Name!
- Haldor Lillenas -




Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race,
Ye ransomed from the fall;
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all.
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all.
- Edward Perronet -


I know not why God’s wondrous grace
To me He hath made known,
Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for His own.
But I know whom I have believed, 
and am persuaded that he is able 
to keep that which I've committed 
unto him against that day. 
- Daniel W. Whittle -




Oh, the love that drew salvation’s plan!
Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary!
Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty At Calvary.
- William R, Newell -


 For by grace are ye saved through faith; 
and that not of yourselves: 
it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
- Ephesians 2:8, 9 -




For sin shall not have dominion over you: 
for ye are not under the law, 
but under grace.
- Romans 6:14 -


"Jesus died for all mankind"
- every race and nation -
and yet. . .
He died for me.


Saved by grace alone!
This is all my plea:
Jesus died for all mankind,
and Jesus died for me.
- Philip Doddridge and Augustus M. Toplady -




Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
- John Newton -


The wonderful grace of Jesus will be the theme
that will echo throughout the corridors of heaven during all eternity.
It should also be the joyful exclamation of every Christian now
whenever he thinks of Calvary and the deep love of our Savior.
- Kenneth W. Osbeck -




Have a most blessed Lord's Day!
Love and hugs to you.

Happy Labor Day, Friends!

Happy Labor Day,  sweet friends! I hope your day is simply delightful and ever so relaxing. Two things I wanted to let you know. . . I wanted to apologize for my lack of hymn posts for the last two Sundays. I shared with you that my laptop was giving me fits, and while some days it worked okay, other days it didn't work at all. My hard drive finally crashed in my Toshiba so just recently my hubby and I went laptop shopping and we purchased a Lenovo Yoga 720 2-in-1. So far I am loving it! If any of you have this model or even a different Lenovo model I would love to hear your thoughts. So I say all that to let you know that with a new laptop my posts and blog visiting should return to normal since everything is working well again. Thank you for your patience, my friends. Also, I wanted to let you know that everything in my Etsy shop is 20% off right now until Wednesday, the 6th. And please remember that I offer free shipping to all USA residents. Stop by Rose Petal Blessings . I ...

I'll Be A Sunbeam

Image
Let your light so shine before men,  that they may see your good works,  and glorify your Father which is in heaven. - Matthew 5:16 - Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, To shine for Him each day; In every way try to please Him, At home, at school, at play. Jesus wants me to be loving, And kind to all I see; Showing how pleasant and happy, His little one can be. I will ask Jesus to help me To keep my heart from sin; Ever reflecting His goodness, And always shine for Him. I’ll be a sunbeam for Jesus, I can if I but try; Serving Him moment by moment, Then live for Him on high. Refrain: A sunbeam, a sunbeam, Jesus wants me for a sunbeam; A sunbeam, a sunbeam, I’ll be a sunbeam for Him. - Nellie Talbot - I was looking through an old hymnal the other day and I came across this beloved song. I haven't thought of it in years and when I began reading the words  I was taken back to my childhood and the many times I sang it  in Sunday School or with my mom. While this might be a "ch...

Crisis Shot - Book Review

Image
Tess O’Rourke dreams of becoming  the first female chief of police in Long Beach, California.  As commander of the East Division, she is well on her way . . .  until the night she responds to an officer-needs-assistance call  and fatally shoots an unarmed teenager.  Despite being cleared of wrongdoing by a grand jury,  Tess is so hounded by the public that she takes a job in Oregon to escape the bad press. Winning over the residents of Rogue’s Hollow might be more difficult  than adjusting to her new role as police chief in the small, backwater town.  Especially when her closest friend, the pastor’s wife,  goes missing and the woman’s cousin is found shot.  Tess finds an ally in sheriff’s deputy Steve Logan,  but as they track down Rogue’s Hollow’s first murderer,  she worries that she’s breaking one of her rules and getting too close to him. My Thoughts Crisis Shot  is my first book by Janice Cantore and it certainly won'...
