Grace is Amazing

I am sitting here applying for jobs and listening to Pandora (I'm living the high life... I know). An old Phillips, Craig and Dean song just made me stop in my tracks. And to be perfectly honest it made me more than tear up a little. "Your Grace Still Amazes Me" is fairly simple and I have heard it thousands of times, but today seemed different. 

My faithful Father, enduring Friend Your tender mercy's like a river with no end It overwhelms me, covers my sin Each time I come into Your presence I stand in wonder once again
Your grace still amazes me Your love is still a mystery Each day I fall on my knees Your grace still amazes me'Cause Your grace still amazes me
Oh, patient Savior, You make me whole You are the Author and the Healer of my soul What can I give You, Lord, what can I say I know there's no way to repay You Only to offer You my praise
It's deeper, it's wider It's stronger, it's higher It's deeper it's wider It's stronger, it's higher than anything my eyes can see
 Do I truly take time to think about how amazing grace is? Not frequently enough! How patient our Savior is with each of us. How many times have I not trusted His grace? How many times have I relied wholly on myself with no dependency on the grace that sees me through each day? I guess all of this rambling is to say that I need to breathe in His grace more deeply and breathe out His love more graciously because His grace truly is amazing.
