Opening Song: Grace Greater Than Our Sin by Julia Harriette Johnston, arranged by Bart Millard and Brown BannisterLyrics:Marvellous grace of our loving LordGrace that exceeds our sin and our guiltYonder on Calvary's mount outpouredThere where the blood of the Lamb was spiltGrace grace God's graceGrace that will pardon and cleanse withinGrace grace God's graceGrace that is greater than all our sinSin and despair like the sea waves coldThreaten the soul with infinite lossGrace that is greater yes grace untoldPoints to the refuge the mighty CrossDark is the stain that we cannot hideWhat can avail to wash it awayLook there is flowing a crimson tideWhiter than snow you may be todayMarvellous infinite matchless graceFreely bestowed on all who believeYou that are longing to see His faceWill you this moment His grace receivePassage: 15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. 16 And the free gift is not like the result of that one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. 17 For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. 19 For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous.(Romans Musical Reflection: “Amazing Grace,” Appalachian folk tuneReflection Notes: This beloved tune, formally known as NEW BRITAIN, originates from the folk music of Appalachia. The melody is simple and outlines triads, making it memorable; the ascending line creates a triumphant climax. Prayer:Lord of all power and might, the author and giver of all good things: Graft in our hearts the love of your Name, increase in us true religion, nourish us with all goodness, and bring forth in us the fruit of good works; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
