I'M AMAZED

No one knew how alone I was feeling

And the emptiness I tried so

Hard to hide.

Though I laughed and said my life was

Fine without you I was

Covering up the secret tears I cried.

I'M AMAZED

Then one day someone told me of your

Mercy and the love You showed

On a hill called Calvary.

There you died and purchased my

Redemption when You broke

Sin's power and set my spirit free.

I'M AMAZED

I'm amazed that You love me

I'm amazed how You care.

Through Your precious blood I've found

Pardon and my sins are washed

They're all washed away, Oh

My sins are washed away.

I'M AMAZED

Yes, it's true there've been days when

I failed you. Lord, You know the many

Times I've gone astray

But I've learned Your love is stronger

Than my weakness and Your ear

Is open ev'ry time I pray.

CCLI 56448

I'M AMAZED

No one else has ever cared for me like

You Lord. Other friends could

Never be as close to me.

Romans 5: 12- 21 (NLT)

Adam and Christ Contrasted

12 When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought

death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. 13 Yes,

people sinned even before the law was given. But it was not

counted as sin because there was not yet any law to break. 14 Still,

everyone died—from the time of Adam to the time of Moses—even

those who did not disobey an explicit commandment of God, as

Adam did. Now Adam is a symbol, a representation of Christ, who

was yet to come. 15 But there is a great difference between Adam’s

sin and God’s gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam,

brought death to many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace

and his gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus



Christ. 16 And the result of God’s gracious gift is very different from

the result of that one man’s sin. For Adam’s sin led to

condemnation, but God’s free gift leads to our being made right

with God, even though we are guilty of many sins. 17 For the sin of

this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even

greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for

all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this

one man, Jesus Christ.18 Yes, Adam’s one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but

Christ’s one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with

God and new life for everyone.



19 Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But

because one other person obeyed God, many will be made

righteous.20 God’s law was given so that all people could see how sinful they

were. But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful

grace became more abundant.21 So just as sin ruled over all

people and brought them to death, now God’s wonderful grace

rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in

eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Captain Fran Everitt

(Romans 7:15) I do not understand the things I do. I do not do what I

want to do, and I do the things I hate.

I want to do the things that are good, but I do not do them. I do not do the things I want to do, but I do the bad things I do not want to do.

(Romans 5: 8-9) But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ

to die for us while we were still sinners. And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation.

But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and His gift of forgiveness. (Romans 5: 15c)

Hebrews 8:12b I will never again remember their sins.

Psalm 103:12 He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is

from the west.

Isaiah 1:18 Come now, let’s settle this, says the Lord. Though your

sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow.

Do yourself a favour…..forgive.1. Unforgiveness always keeps score

2. Unforgiveness boasts of its good behaviour

3. Unforgiveness complains

4. Unforgiveness alienates, divides and separates

5. Unforgiveness continues to bring up the offence

6. Unforgiveness resents the others blessings

Psalm 133:1 Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to

dwell together in unity.

Romans 12: 16 - 18 Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty,

but readily adjust yourself to people, things and give yourselves to humble tasks. Never overestimate yourself or be wise in your own conceits. Repay no one evil for evil, but take thought for what is honest, proper and noble in the sight of everyone. If possible, as far as it depends on you live at peace with everyone.

He gives us unconditional love and asks us to love others unconditionally

He gives us mercy and asks us to be merciful

He forgives us and asks us to forgive others

God never asks us to do for another, what he has not first done for us

Galatians 3: 27 And all who have been united with Christ in baptism

have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes.

I Know Thou Art MineUsed by Permission CCLI 56448

1. My Jesus, I love thee,

I know thou art mine,

For thee all the pleasures

of sin I resign;

My gracious Redeemer,

My Saviour art thou,

If ever I loved thee,

My Jesus, 'tis now.

2. I love thee

Because thou hast first loved me,

And purchased my pardon

On Calvary's tree;

I love thee for wearing the thorns

on thy brow,


My Jesus, 'tis now.

3. I will love thee in life,

I will love thee in death,

And praise thee as long as thou

lendest me breath;

And say, when the death-dew

lies cold on my brow:


My Jesus, 'tis now.

4. In mansions of glory and

endless delight,

I'll ever adore thee and dwell

in thy sight;

I'll sing with the glittering crown

on my brow:


My Jesus, 'tis now.
