hymn/prayer
O to Grace, how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be Let thy goodness, like a fetter Bind my wandering heart to thee
Prone to wander, Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart O take and seal it Seal it for thy courts above

I know this is a few days late to post a comment, but what the heck. While reading one of my favorite hymns I thought of another...Amazing Grace. I was then reminded of the incredible movie ("Amazing Grace")about the origin of the hymn and a Christian political activist who, 200 years ago, led the British Parliment to the abolition of slavery . It was an incredible reminder that we can live our faith in this sinful world...especially when the journey is painful.
It is by grace that He binds our hearts to Him. The older I get, the more I'm convinced that the distinctive of Christianity and Jesus's ministry is Grace. Undeserved love. Period. So hard for Americans to grasp, understand, and accept.
