We read about several of these accounts in Scripture (the woman at the well or the demon-possessed man who lived among the tombs to name a couple) that help us to understand God\u2019s amazing grace.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t have a story like either of these people or like some of the people I have encountered through my life. But what my story does have is the same outcome. Transformation. Sanctification. A grace-filled life that is devoted to Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of what our back story is, we all are a testimony of what salvation has done for us. And that is the message of today\u2019s song. And I don\u2019t know about you, but I praise God every day that I live on this side of salvation. I am thankful for Jesus\u2019 sacrifice so that I might live in the shadow of the cross.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As you read through these lyrics, you may find glimpses of you and your life. If so, I pray that your path has led you to salvation. I pray that each person who reads this today is able to recount the words of the chorus. Oh, it is difficult for us to understand why Jesus did what He did, but we can also be thankful for the gift of salvation that His sacrifice gave. And then, just like that, each of us can tell another what salvation has done us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at the lyrics and then listen to this beauty. I\u2019ll be praying for you today!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat Salvation\u2019s Done for Me\u201d<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I used to be so lonesome, I never had a friend<br \/>\nAlways looking out for number one<br \/>\nDidn\u2019t know where I was going, didn\u2019t care where I had been<br \/>\nThe life I lived had me on the run<br \/>\nOne day Jesus found me and took my sin away<br \/>\nHe showed me what I thought I\u2019d never see<br \/>\nHe put me in His family, and He\u2019s with me to this day<br \/>\nLet me tell you what salvation\u2019s done for me<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Chorus:<br \/>\nI used to be a blind man, but now my vision\u2019s clear<br \/>\nMercy came and drove the shame from me<br \/>\nThere\u2019s peace of mind with Jesus that drives out every fear<br \/>\nI\u2019m stronger than I thought I\u2019d ever be<br \/>\nI can\u2019t tell you why He loves me, as bad as I had been<br \/>\nWhy I\u2019m worthy of this life of victory<br \/>\nI know I\u2019m not a scholar just a sinner saved by grace<br \/>\nBut I can tell you what salvation\u2019s done for me<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One day when life is over, I\u2019ll go to my reward<br \/>\nWhere Heaven waits for those who have been set free<br \/>\nWith saints from all the ages, in the presence of our Lord<br \/>\nThis is what salvation\u2019s done for me<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=slBbmBInpuE\">here <\/a>to listen to this calming, peaceful song by the Booth Brothers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Donna<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">[i]<\/a> \u201cWhat Salvation\u2019s Done for Me,\u201d words and music by Diane Wilkinson and Rusty Golden, Rusty Golden Music, Christian Taylor Music, 2006.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Have you ever heard someone tell their story of salvation that is amazing?
