AMAZING LOVE!

Ephesians 2:4-5 – Devotional

Ephesians 2:4-5

“But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)”

This Friday we have a special treat for you. Russ Hansen has combined AI and Scripture to produce an original song entitled, “Amazing Love” inspired by Charles Wesley’s penned words in the popular hymn, And Can It Be?. Russ would appreciate your feedback at inspiration@thegoodbookcompany.com.

Amazing Love (inspired by Charles Wesley)

Verse 1
How could it be that grace would choose
A heart like mine, so torn and bruised
You bore the cross, You took my blame
I caused the pain, You took the shame
The nails, the thorns, the victory
All of it done for someone like me

Chorus
Amazing love, how can it be
My God would die to set me free?
The Son of heaven bled for me
Amazing love, how can it be?

Verse 2
The Immortal stepped into the grave
Who could explain the life He gave
No angel mind could ever see
The depths of such a mystery
Mercy spoke where justice stood
Love outweighed what never could

Chorus
Amazing love, how can it be
My God would die to set me free?
The Son of heaven bled for me
Amazing love, how can it be?

Verse 3
He left the throne, laid glory down
Wore human flesh, wore sorrow’s crown
With empty hands but endless grace
He took our sin, He took our place
This mercy vast, this love so free
Somehow it still found out me

Pre-Chorus
Oh, it found me
Yes, it found me
Chorus
Amazing love, how can it be
My God would die to set me free?
The Son of heaven bled for me
Amazing love, how can it be?

Verse 4
I lived in chains, I lived in night
Bound by fear, out of sight
Then heaven’s light broke through the dark
Awoke my soul, ignited my heart
The chains fell off, my faith could see
I rose, I ran, You called me free

Bridge
No guilt remains, no fear, no shame
I stand alive in Jesus’ name
His righteousness now covers me
I walk in hope eternally

Final Chorus
Amazing love, how can it be
My God would die to set me free?
I stand redeemed, I finally see
Amazing love, how can it be?

Outro
The cross, the grave, the victory
Amazing love — You died for me
