I wrote this song for someone I am very close to who does not know the hope that Christ offers through His immeasurable grace. This fact burdens my heart to no end, yet pushes me to share the hope I know and experience daily. What makes God’s grace so beautiful? It is saving, compelling, changing, unconditional. So what does this mean in a believer’s life? It means joy, hope, love, life. It means a reuniting with one’s Creator, a return home. It also means a responsibility to pass this grace along, not out of duty but out of love for one’s Savior and thankfulness for the mercy given through Jesus. Most live their lives hoping that in the end, when they are knocking on death’s door, they can look back and see a full life behind them. But through God’s mercy extended to us by sending His son for the sacrifice of all who would believe, not only will our lives be full of the joy, fulfillment and purpose that knowing Christ brings, but it will not be a thing of the past, even when we leave this life. Praise God for His beautiful grace!

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:8-10
