6-24-18 Amazing Grace
What a difference it makes in a person's life when they finally completely surrender to the saving grace, mercy, love, and will of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. One year ago today I was cursing God and sitting locked up in a mental ward after my self destructive plot of suicide by cop failed and I was left living with and trying to change the hopeless, self-loathing, guilt ridden mess of an existence that my life had become.
Today one year later I am privileged to be sitting in MacRae Meadows at Grandfather's Mountain for the 94th singing on the mountain to give thanks and sing praises to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for saving a wretch like me. For I once was lost but now I am found, was blind but now I see. Amazing grace how sweet the sound.
If you too need to be rescued from the waters of life and are drowning in sorrow and hopelessness don't go under for the final time. He's already thrown you a lifeline but you have to grab on to it and allow him to take you to safety. The problems will still be there but now you have a harbour master to help you steer through the currents. Don't wait any longer Today is your day.

God, The Mountains Tell Your Glory
AUSTRIAN HYMN 8.7.8.7 D ("Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken")
God, the mountains tell your glory, lifting praise to you above!
In your Word, each mountain story shows your presence and your love.
Noah built as you commanded; soon the waters swirled around.
Those you saved, Lord, safely landed; you set them on mountain ground.

Lord, when Moses was returning to the mountain that he knew,
There a bush was brightly burning. There it was he heard from you.
Later Moses felt your presence; in the heights he knew your grace.
He brought down the Ten Commandments from your holy mountain place.

Christ, you taught upon a mountain, showing us God's kingdom view.
In the heights when you were praying, God's own glory shone on you.
Climbing to a quiet garden, in your grief and faith you cried.
On a hill for our own pardon, you, O Lord, were crucified.

Thank you now for blue-green mountains, red-brown mesas, high peaks, too.
Here may we enjoy creation, know your presence, learn from you.
Here may we sing out your glory, hear your call and find your grace.
Risen Christ, we'll tell your story, from these heights to every place.
