“On the Sound of Sweet Grace”

Ephesians 2:8 and “Amazing Grace” by John Newton

God who makes ears hear,

Give me ears to hear the sweetness of your grace.

Grace sweeter than the sound of a heartbeat through a sonogram machine.

Grace sweeter than the sound of waves rushing the shore on the first day of a long anticipated vacation.

Grace sweeter than the sounds of birds chirping out a window after a long winter.

Grace sweeter than the sound of silence in the midst of a loud, chaotic day.

Grace sweeter than the sound of a perfectly played melody.

Grace sweeter than the sound of the purest laughs of joy between beloved friends.

God who makes ears hear,

Give me ears to hear the sweetness of your grace.
