Amazing Grace

Broken vessels. Solemn wretches. Only this otherworldly love, your Amazing Grace, can raise up the broken to life!

Apr 21, 2023

As every road leads to Rome, every road must lead to happiness, he used to convince himself. This slogan had always helped him in a way. But he felt his strange smile slide away. It was like when you wore happiness like a mask and a sad child had stolen it and run off across the lawn and there was no way of going to knock on his door and ask for it back. Because who doesn´t want happy children? It´s adults that get bitter.

Now he thought, just for a while, it came like a blaze of happier times, he could somehow revive the miserable past making it the promising future he'd once lived. He felt his body divide itself into a hotness and a coldness, a softness and a hardness, a trembling and a not trembling, the two halves grinding one upon the other. He felt life gave him another chance, the last, the very last. And he was so grateful. He was literally jumping into the skies, into the blue, she was there waiting for him. Not for his ludicrous deranged and weird style, full of excitement, but for his normal and boring Centaur with his bow and no more arrows left. She was expecting him, to comfort her, not to entertain her. Gasping, she was awaiting his arrival, but it was never getting closer. And yes, it was him who could not breathe, it was him who needed her air. She was his oxygen, his essentials, yes, plural. So strangely and scarily uplifting, she was all that mattered. O2, O1, the only one!

Nothing mattered more than this woman within his reach and his otherworldly love for her. It sounded very simple, but it was so complicated, so much more than complicated. He was so primitive, and she was so sophisticated. He could hold her metaphysical hand, he didn´t deserve more. He was so afraid of quoting her, though he had never feared anyone, but her dazzling, hypnotizing speech overpowered him, no matter he was the invincible Sagittarius with so much ammunition, which she imagined. He lost his arm on one of those glorious battlefields when he knew he wouldn´t, where he was a buccaneer, tooth and nail, and yet the Mercyful. He had always helped the weak, the powerless, he had a good heart, he was strong, he was Robin Hood. And she recognized that from afar, so far, from two worlds apart. But now he was weak. She knew he was weak, she just didn´t want to admit it to herself. Because he was happening to her everywhere, without really chasing her, he was her half, just a tiny bit off the rails, like a normally derailed model train, whoops. That kind of childish creepiness. Who plays with trains at 50? Having them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? What the train! Well, not anymore.

There was a light flickering in his face in all the darkness of his sight as he indulged in hearing her softest echo in his 50 states of mind going blank, she whispered in his famished soul, like he had never heard or understood before,"I love you". That might mean she was alone, but she was not. Yet alone, he meant. He'd never seen her since the Big Bang. He felt like kissing her hard again, yet the really softest all across the universe, but tried to restrain himself from spilling emotions rampaging in his sore heart, however pure.

Despite all of that, he remained cool. He looked a cool tough guy. The dark man, white, with a worn-out backpack was heading for the good old USA, a deep mystery hanging around. It was not that the miserable past wasn't visible, but he looked so romantic, the cool heavy type. She also loved that. Though he was lightweight, so thin. He was not Rambo. Actually, she was the heavyweight, she was doing all the heavy lifting life could tragically bring, and yet such a fragile soul, soaring above all his bursting clouds. Yes, she was the halo of his broken vessel life. He knew that it could not rain forever. She was this Amazing Grace constantly landing on him, finding him abandoned wherever he was seeking, so alone. She was so nice, she was so kind. So much sweeter than honey.

Truly, she was this Amazing Grace, seeking him and finding him in their semi-darkness, in their half-light, in their enamored twilight stargaze, washing all his superficial dirt away, wiping the slate clean. She wanted him clean, now he was almost clean. No, it could not rain forever. Because she was his biggest weakness. But he trusted in God, his true and only Savior. It could not rain forever …

All these pieces
Broken and scattered
In mercy gathered
Mended and whole

Empty-handed
But not forsaken
I've been set free
I've been set free

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me, ooh
I once was lost
But now I am found
Was blind but now I see

Oh, I can see You now
Oh, I can see the love in Your eyes
Laying Yourself down
Raising up the broken to life

You take our failure
You take our weakness
You set Your treasure
In jars of clay

So take this heart Lord
I'll be Your vessel
The world to see
Your life in me, oh

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me, ooh
I once was lost
But now I am found
Was blind but now I see

Oh, I can see You now
Oh, I can see the love in Your eyes
Laying Yourself down
Raising up the broken to life

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me, ooh
I once was lost
But now I am found
Was blind but now I see

Oh, I can see You now
Oh, I can see the love in Your eyes
Laying Yourself down
Raising up the broken to life

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me, ooh
I once was lost
But now I'm found
Was blind but now I see

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me, ooh
I once was lost
But now I am found
Was blind but now I see

Raising up the broken to life
