Saving Grace

She had her father’s blue eyes. He left home before she arrived. Mama named her Grace.
Just getting by on their own. When Grace was fifteen she ran from home one December day.
Grace is lost and alone in a world as cold as stone. God is counting on us to reach her with His love.

It’s all about saving grace, all about living love, being Jesus to those He came to save, sharing life and giving our own away. It’s all about serving God, all about saving grace.

She'd never darken the door of any church. She would say, "What for? No one there would care for me.
We have to go where she lives, simply show her who Jesus is. Watch Him set her free.
For grace flows down from above. And faith requires a selfless love for a world that’s dying to see the hope in you and me.

It’s all about saving grace, all about living love, being Jesus to those He came to save, sharing life and giving our own away. It’s all about serving God, all about saving grace.

There are countless millions just like Grace who need a merciful embrace. They won’t believe our God is real until they feel His touch.

It’s all about saving grace, all about living love, being Jesus to those He came to save, sharing life and giving our own away. It’s all about serving God, all about saving grace.

So this morning I woke up to my little sister singing this song, Saving Grace. I had heard it before. Didnt know all the words, but kinda sang along with her anyway not really thinking about the words too much. But tonight as I was praying God reminded me that raising support is not about me. Its not about making sure I get the money that I need for next year. Its about the people whos lives will be impacted by Jesus because of it, whether it be the students, my ministry partners, or my family. And ultimately its about Jesus and his love for us and his saving grace. Its about sharing this truth with people that have never heard! So after being reminded of this, I decided to go look at the words of the song. And they really just moved me. These kinds of stories break my heart and are the kinds of students that I really want to reach out to and show them the hope that is found in Jesus' love for us! I just cant wait till I get to go to Oxford! :)
