Psalm 27:9
Hide not Your face far from me; put not Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of My Salvation.
Jeremiah 10:24
Correct me, O LORD, but only with justice—not in Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing.
We are very thankful that our Lord does not mete out His wrath on us when we deserve it. That's Grace.
We are thankful that 'The Lord is My Helper' is more than just a Name or Title of our God. That He really is our Helper, helping us in this new life He has given us through the blood which He has shed on the cross, and the empty grave in which He once had lain. That's Grace, too.
He has promised to never leave us, nor forsake us. Grace.
Though we stumble or even fall, He picks us back up, stands us upright and guides us on this narrow path in which we walk. Grace.
God is with us in the beginning of our born-again life, remains with us as we remain faithful in our new life in Christ, and brings us through death's threshold into His eternal kingdom. Grace.
Psalm 30:5
For His anger endures but a moment; in His favor is Life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
This, too, is Grace.

AMAZING GRACE
{John Newton-1779}
Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
was blind, but now I see.
'Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
as long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
a life of joy and peace.
When we've been there ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we first begun.
