Big Grace

Gavin’s not a fan of the car. And the only thing that works to keep him calm on trips to and from school is to sing. Isaac’s first request is usually “Jingle Bells.” But his second fav is “My God is so BIG!” But there’s only one verse! And I got to thinking that there’s so much more to God than His omnipotence. So a couple of friends of mine, Ruth and Monica, and I put our heads together, and I’m pretty much tickled.

Our additions remind me of that Commencement morning 4 years ago when we discovered that a little Isaac was in my tummy. I read Isaiah that morning and was stunned at how God talks both about His big power and His tender love. I think these verses point toward that tender power of our loving and awesome God.

God’s love is so BIG!
So kind and so gentle,
There’s nothing that stands in the way.
God’s love is so BIG!
So kind and so gentle,
There’s nothing that stands in the way.
As high as the sky,
As deep as the sea,
Around me just like a big hug.
God’s love is so BIG!
So kind and so gentle,
There’s nothing that stands in the way

God’s grace is so BIG!
So free and so flowing,
It bathes me right down to my toes.
God’s grace is so BIG!
So free and so flowing,
It bathes me right down to my toes!
It covers my faults,
Forgives all my sins,
It reaches out sweetly to me.
God’s grace is so BIG!
So free and so flowing,
It bathes me right down to my toes

God’s love is so BIG!
So great and so tender,
There’s no one my God cannot love.
God’s love is so BIG!
So great and so tender,
There’s no one my God cannot love.
My eyes cannot see
how God works inside
to help me love others each day.
God’s love is so BIG!
So great and so tender,
There’s no one my God cannot love.
