🐾 Paws & Reflect 🐾
I’ve had this hymn in my head for a few days, so I thought I’d make our topic today about it 😁
The song is titled “Grace Greater Than Our Sin.”
Here are the lyrics:
- - - - - - - - - -
Verse 1
Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,
Grace that exceeds our sin and guilt,
Yonder on Calvary’s mount outpoured,
There where the blood of the Lamb was spilt.
Refrain
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!
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
Dark is the stain that we cannot hide-
What can avail to wash it away?
Look! There is flowing a crimson tide;
Whiter than snow you may be today.
Verse 4
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?
Final Refrain
Marvelous grace, infinite grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within!
Marvelous grace, infinite grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin!

This song reminds me of the encouraging words in the last part of Romans 5:20 which say: “But where sin increased, God’s remarkable, gracious gift of grace (His unmerited favor) has surpassed it and increased all the more.”
Romans 5:20 Amplified Bible
Grace can be defined as undeserved kindness from God. When the wages of sin are death, and we can ask for and receive forgiveness, THAT is grace.
We can see the evil all around us in the world, and I hope we can recognize that we too are sinful, stained and broken. Not one of us is perfect. So even more beautiful than is the gift God offers us of GRACE. Forgiveness and eternal life can be ours!
To quote a Casting Crowns song:
God loves and offers grace, “not because of who I am, but because of what You’ve done; not because of what I’ve done, but because of who You are!”
“Grace that is greater than all our sin!”
🐾 This is a series of Saturday posts called Paws & Reflect. The idea is I’ll share a scripture and a short thought in hopes that it can be a message of peace and God’s love to others. Please share! And message me if you have any questions 🐾
