Seize the Moment – Day 347
Grace Greater Than All Our Sin
“ And He has said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.’ Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.”
The daughter of a Presbyterian minister born in 1849, Julia Harriette Johnston grew up to be faithful to the ministries of the church, serving as teacher, Sunday school superintendent, writing Sunday school lessons and several books for David C Cook Publishing. She was also prolific as a writer of 500 hymn texts, most known for “Grace Greater than Our Sin” with Daniel B. Towner composing the tune.
Grace is a key concept in our Christian faith. If it weren’t for grace, then none of us would qualify for heaven. She wanted to make sure that we knew that God’s grace would cover each and every sin.
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin!
Wake up and hold on to this promise of God! It is more than enough, for He will supply the power that we need in our times of weakness, for it is greater than ALL our sin!

Grace Greater Than Our Sin
Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt!
Yonder on Calvary’s mount out-poured–
There where the blood of the Lamb was spilt.
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin!
Threaten the soul with infinite loss;
Grace that is greater– yes, grace untold–
Points to the Refuge, the mighty Cross. [Refrain]
Freely bestowed on all who believe!
All who are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace receive? [Refrain]
