AMAZING
I looked up the
definition of the word amazing and
here are a few of the descriptive terms
associated with this word:
causing
great surprise or wonder;
astonishing;
startlingly impressive;
so remarkable
as to elicit disbelief;
remarkably or impressively great in extent,
size, or degree;
astounding;
fabulous; fantastic; incredible;
marvelous;
miraculous; phenomenal;
stupendous; wonderful; wondrous
So many
meanings to this word and they all describe, in part, our God.
There
are not enough words in the dictionaries, thesaurus, or all the
books in
all the libraries in the world to truly describe our God.
When
John Newton wrote “Amazing Grace” he described a
portion
of God’s personality that He extends to us, His grace.
Amazing grace!
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but
now I see.
This song written in 1772 is still
probably the best loved of all hymns.
But there is a song that is sung by
the Triumphant Quartet that too
expresses how “amazing” our God is
and is a favorite of mine.
Amazing God
By
The Triumphant Quartet
You
want to hear the story of how I made it through,
When
life was full of trouble, pain and fear
The
answer may sound simple, though everything else crumbles
One
thing has remained through all these years
Chorus
I
still serve an amazing God,
He's
been with me every mile, my weary feet have trod
He
still cares, He still hears,
He's
still mending broken hearts and drying tears
This
old world is bound to change,
but
I'm glad I know the One who always stays the same
And
my song will ever be amazing God,
You're
still amazing me.
The
God who parted waters still makes a way today
He's
always brought me through the troubled sea.
The
One who fed the thousands, Whose word can calm the tempest
He's
my Bread of Life and He's my peace.
I am so very glad that God never changes.
He is ever waiting to hear our cry.
And He still amazes me!
