HE LOOKED BEYOND MY FAULT

The picture accompanying this blog is a replica of the City of Jerusalem inside the city. It was here that Jesus in His early ministry was approached by a man whose name was Nicodemus. Jesus expressed to him what we call the Golden Text. John 3:16 says "God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son, that everyone who has faith in Him may not die but have eternal life."
Every person who is a child of God cannot totally comprehend such a love as Jesus expressed. The reason for this is because we understand completely our nature. We are all sinners.
When I was a child one of the songs that I loved was O Danny Boy. I remember it touched me deeply. There is a song I heard today on cd by David Phelps which, using the tune of O Danny Boy says it all.
The title of the song is "He Looked Beyond My Fault". I leave with you the words of the song. Let us all glorify God because of His Grace and Love in our lives.

"He Looked Beyond My Fault"

"Amazing Grace shall always be my song of praise

For it was Grace that bought my liberty

I don't know just why He came to love me so

He looked beyond my fault and saw my need

I shall forever lift my eyes to Calvary

I view the Cross where Jesus died for me

How marvelous the Grace that caught my falling soul

He looked beyond my fault and saw my need

If not for Grace my soul would be a drifting ship

with no safe harbor from the angry waves

But Calvary's Cross shines brightly through

the darkest storm

and just in time His Mercy rescues me

I shall forever lift my eyes to Calvary

to view the Cross where Jesus died for me

How marvelous the Grace that caught my falling soul

He looked beyond my fault and saw my need."

So let us sing of our redemption, salvation, sanctification,

forgiveness, that were all bought by the precious blood of the Lamb.
