Unmatchable Grace

One of the reasons I started a blog was to post songs I have written. I was motivated by Mark Lee of Third Day via his blog This Guy Falls Down. You can check out his 21 Songwriting Hacks here. You'll see that number one is Start a Blog. So I did. And today I'm posting a song I wrote about a year ago. I hope to do this every occasionally, maybe once a week. Enjoy!

Unmatchable Grace

Those thorns that you wore were my thorns.
The scars that you bore as well.
The death that you died was intended for me.
No greater love could there be.

CHORUS:
Crucified, you died.
You died in my place.
No way to repay
But you did it anyway.
Crucified, you died.
You died in my place.
Unmatchable grace.

Without any sin you were accused,
Deserted by all who you knew.
I still can't get over you did all this for me!
No greater love could there be.

(Chorus)

BRIDGE:
Will I ever see the tears you cried while you suffered my pain?
Or the blood on your hands that washed my sins away?

(Chorus)

Unmatchable grace. (No love like this one.)
Unmatchable grace. (No way to repay.)
Unmatchable grace. (I still can't get over it.)
Unmatchable grace.

Hey Sara! Awesome blog! Thanks for sharing your heart with the world. I LOVE the title (Reckless Abandon). That's always been a favorite phrase of mine since I heards it in Steven Curtis Chapman's, "For the Sake of the Cross."

Keep up the good work. I look forward to reading more from you.
