Amazing Will...Amazing Grace!
"But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath made us alive together with Christ (by grace ye are saved), and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus; that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God--not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:4-9 KJV).
Welcome to "Amazing Will...Amazing Grace," a feature at Peggie's Place, highlighting the poetry of Postor/Poet Greg Asimakoupoulos and the story of "Amazing Grace." Enjoy the creative poetry and the music-related links below. Grace--it's AMAZING--and it's free--come and see!
Amazing Will
(Plain verse inspired by the poignant motion picture, "Amazing Grace.")
by Pastor/Poet Greg Asimakoupoulos
With force of will
Will Wilberforce
courageously
changed England's course.
He gave the Crown
a humbled head
that would in time
deem slavery dead.
Amazing Grace
fell from his lips
although his joy
had been eclipsed
by chronic illness,
searing pain
and critics who
demeaned his fame.
Will's pastor
helped his understand
that God can work
through just one man.
That politics
(without one plea)
can be a sacred
ministry.
John Newton knew
the curse of sin
but also how life
starts again
when rebel hearts
give up their rights
and battle wrongs
with all their might.
Amazing Will
made history.
I pray the same
is said of me.
A man of God
who modeled grace
and saw his Lord
in every face.
