Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me&#8221; (Psalm 23:4).<\/p>\n<p>I love how the songwriters put the Scriptures and the hymn &#8220;Amazing Grace&#8221; together and share such hope with us as listeners. \u00a0Can&#8217;t you just picture God singing over you? \u00a0&#8216;Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, I hear You singing over me. I once was lost but now I&#8217;m found&#8230;&#8217; and it is a beautiful sound. \u00a0He does carry us through the waters and gives us peace that passes all understanding. And no matter what we go through or what we have done, nothing can separate us from God&#8217;s love and His grace. \u00a0There is healing in the pain, through Him and there is shelter from the storms, in Him. \u00a0Isaiah 43:2 NIV says,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When you go through the waters, I will be with you;<br \/>\nand when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.<br \/>\nWhen you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.<\/p>\n<p>I pray today, as you listen to this song, that you feel the <em><strong>hope<\/strong> <\/em>and the <strong><em>love<\/em><\/strong> and His <em><strong>amazing grace<\/strong><\/em> washing over you. \u00a0You are His and He cherishes you and wants to be with you.
