2 Timothy 1:9-10

"God saved us and chose us to be his holy people.  We did nothing to deserve this, but God planned it because he is so kind.  Even before time began God planned for Christ Jesus to show kindness to us.  Now Christ Jesus has come to show us the kindness of God.  Christ our Savior defeated death and brought us the good news.  It shines like a light and offers life that never ends."  (CEV)

"Deep and wide, deep and wide, there's a fountain flowing deep and wide..."

As we sing, our arms stretch out to measure the vastness of God's love for us.  How insufficient our human efforts to describe grace.  How perfectly right to show God's inclusive welcome; with arms wide open.
