Revelation 5:9
And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,“
“Amazing Grace”… How should we introduce this song? We could mention statistics like the fact that it has been recorded on over 11,000 albums, and is likely the most popular Christian song of all time. We could mention its global appeal, from John Newton’s testimony that first penned it, to translations in a myriad of languages and dialects, all the way around the world and back to the United Kingdom’s Scottish bagpipers. We could talk about the joy its truth brings new believers, and the hope and comfort it whispers at funerals.
But if you know, you know… and the song really needs no other introduction. His grace is and always shall be amazing because He is amazing. And all God’s people said, “Amen.”
Listen to “Amazing Grace” from 50 Countries: https://youtu.be/BA7pdABvpnc?si=-GS1Rl1GrIP7a_JM
- Pray for today to be the day of salvation for a person from each of the 50 countries represented in the linked song.
- Pray for Christians from each of those 50 countries to be encouraged today by the fact that the same grace that has brought them through many dangers, toils, and snares will lead them all the way Home.
- Pray for a person living in your town/city who has been resisting the convicting work of the Holy Spirit in relation to sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8-10). Pray for the second verse of Amazing Grace to become a reality in that person’s soul: it is God’s grace that teaches a heart to fear, and the same grace which relieves that fear.
