Outrageous Grace

I have just received an unexpected email:

God, sorry,

Just found the cheque I forgot to post weeks ago, doing it now.

Again, sorry

Nick

In an attempt to be gracious (and ever so slightly mischievous) I sent the following reply:

Nick

No worries.

God

It got me thinking though and reminded me of a song by Godfrey Birtil.

THERE'S A LOT OF PAIN, but a lot more healing
There’s a lot of trouble but a lot more peace
There’s a lot of hate but a lot more loving
There’s a lot of sin but a lot more grace

Oh outrageous grace oh outrageous grace
Love unfurled by heaven’s hand
Oh outrageous grace oh outrageous grace
Through my Jesus I can stand

There’s a lot of fear but a lot more freedom
There’s a lot of darkness but a lot more light
There’s a lot of cloud but a lot more vision
There’s a lot of perishing but a lot more life

There’s an enemy
That seeks to kill what it can’t control
It twists and turns
Making mountains out of molehills
But I will call on my Lord
Who is worthy of praise
I run to Him and I am saved
