1. We are so blessed, by the gifts from Your hand
Just can't understand why You loved us so much.
We are so blessed, we just can't find a way or the words that can say
Thank You, Lord, for Your touch.
CHORUS:
When we're empty You fill us 'til we overflow
When we're hungry You feed us, and cause us to know.
We are so blessed, take what we have to bring,
Take it all, everything, Lord, we love you so much.
2. We are so blessed by the things You have done,
The vict'ries we've won and what You've brought us through.
We are so blessed, take what we have to bring,
Take it all everything, Lord, we bring it to You.

The Silver-lining
Unmerited favor is the truest definition of grace. It took me time to comprehend that. There were doubts and questions. But through it all, I'm glad I understood. I felt the vacuum when I tried to be someone I couldn't be. It was a tough fight. It was more like hypocrisy. But then I understood. Beyond the cloud of doubt and confusion, I could see the silver-lining. That grace is the only medicine to be what God wants me to be. Forgiven by mercy, having escaped justice and holpen by grace.
The feeling was warm. The environment was nothing so sacred. In the most normal of circumstances, as I went through my own notes - the answer was there. The hope that I had once dared to believe in, stared me back in my eyes. And it won! Yes, grace won in my life! Everything changed when I took it in all again. When I again chose to believe that God's grace is all that can save me, and it is all His doing, its all His grace, its all God - I could feel the pulse of freedom - the joy streaming down my veins again!
O how great that feeling! To be free from the clutches of sin! From the pangs of loneliness! From the scourge of guilt! From the pain of worthlessness! Grace brings freedom. Grace brings peace. Grace is the answer to life's greatest question - Why am I here? I'm here because of GRACE: forgiven, healed, justified and sanctified. Beyond the shadow of all doubt, greater than the massiveness of law, shunning the gloom of dark clouds - there is a silver lining. There is GRACE.
The ultimate, final and absolute answer.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
