Amazing Works - the LawHead version of "Amazing Grace"

Amazing Works

Verse 1:
Amazing works,
How neat my tomb,
I washed 'til it was clean!

I once was bought,
but now I have found:
The rest is up to me.

Verse 2:
When I've been yoked
With ten-thousand pounds,
and burdened by the Son;

I'll weave all my days,
And work the loom,
that Jesus Christ begun.

Oh Christian, dear Christian,
With your eyes wide shut;
Unwilling to see,
How deep is your rut.

Out of tradition you cling,
To your man-made creeds,
Stubbornly trusting in them,
Though God’s grace set you free!

His grace so abounds,
If only you knew;
That His love is His gift,
It’s not what YOU do.

You’ve boxed our God in,
By the doctrines you teach;
Limiting His grace,
But never exceeding His reach.

Our God is so faithful,
To restore all things to Him;
Yet His grace you refuse,
His favor to win.

Break down all the walls,
Of the denominations you’ve built;
And allow God’s love,
To take away all of your guilt.

He’s faithful you see,
For His love knows no end;
He yet knocks at the door,
Won’t you please let Him in?

He sent us His Son,
To die in our place;
That we be restored,
Through His holy grace.

Your works do no good,
To earn you a place;
At God’s holy throne,
It’s His amazing grace!

Your works do no good,
His favor to win;
He sacrificed His Son,
To take away our sin.

Oh let go of your creeds,
Rush quickly to His arms;
And receive His great gift,
And be not alarmed.

For it is man who has told you,
(And you remember it well);
That breaking God’s "rules"
Will place you in "hell".

But "hell" is man-made,
Not God’s will for man;
He’ll restore ALL to Him,
As only His Grace can.

For our Father is fair,
And He made us for Him;
So open your heart, dear one,
And let God’s Grace in!

So don’t let men rob you,
Of our Father’s great plan;
To bring ALL men to Him,
Through the death of One Man!

When you lay down tonight,
Please give God His place;
To surround you in love,
And immerse you in Grace!

I little peom i came across hope you like it.

Kenneth

 I love this stuff. you guys have really got it right on the mark. There's a wonderful line from the old hymn that should ever be on our mind and heart: "JESUS paid it all; all to Him I owe: sin had left a crimson stain. He washed it white as snow."  ~ HE IS OUR PEACE. He has broken down every wall.

blessings in Yeshua Messiah. Len

Len,

White as snow!   Yippie! 

This is the good, glad, merry news that makes a man jump for joy ... in other words, this is the Gospel!

Still ripening for the harvest,

Trent you can add this verse to the Amazing Works Hymnal if you like.  I had the Hymnal labeled Amazing Law                                   Amazing Law! How sour the sound        That buried a Saint like me!                          I once had Joy. but now I've found           I'm sad, and can not see.

Know this, Beloved, some of the boys represent people in your life and the world, who will try to cut you down and sway you from your task; and all represent the many hordes of demons sent by the evil one, for they can not desecrate your beliefs, so they will try to rip them from your body with pain and anguish.
