His Grace, how amazing!

The Almost -
Amazing, Because It Is

I was so scared of everything you put in front of me
I've been arching every part of me
Just to see See
Why you need me to be
The boy you need me to be


Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saves a wretch like me
I once was lost
And now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
I just wanna see
I'm the type of person who lets fear drive
I'm the type of guy who lets it drive
Cause I'm addicted, I'm needy,
I'm lost without you
I need you
I need you

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saves a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now I'm found
Was blind but now I see

Amazing grace (amazing grace)
How sweet the sound (how sweet)
That saved a wretch like me (that saved a wretch like me)
I once was lost
But now I'm found (you know I'm found)
Was blind but now I see

Amazing grace (you're amazing)
How sweet the sound (you're amazing)
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost (it feels so bad when you're lost and alone)
But now I'm found
Was blind but now I see


This song has hit me hard recently due to some things that I am just now starting to deal with properly in my life. Stuff that has been part of the fabric of who I have been and unfortunately has also defined me way to much. I need to dispose of these things once and for all, the "band aids" that I have been using to cover them for short periods of time have fallen and left me feeling miserable way to many times.

Ya know the greatest aspect of this song is that Christ has never had to find me. He knows me and has always known me. I never knew me! Especially the way that he wants me to know myself thus translating into knowing Him ultimately. For me to be found is within myself, I am in the process of being found, again not by Him since he has always known me but to find myself within him.

Looking into my boys innocent little face right now is just way to awesome. To know that this life is now my responsibility to reflect the love of Christ into his young little life. He deserves his fathers love, he also deserves his father to love himself. I have come a long way from where I have been but have a long way to go to truly feel true love for myself.


This truth is truly hard for me to throw out there for all to read but there it is. I have avoided it (put my little band aids on it) for far to long.


It is time for me to truly be healed through his
AMAZING GRACE!
How sweet is that sound?


"Amazing, Because It Is."
