Lyrics

**Verse 2** A woman walked in—those at the table—knew she was full of sin— Whispers spread from ear to ear— “What is she doing here? Who let her in?” Feeling their contempt—she tried to run away—even if it meant carrying her guilt and shame another day— When His voice—spoke over the whispers—and Jesus called her name. **Chorus** Ohhhh—has Jesus ever called your name— Has He ever reached out with His hands—to lift away—all your guilt and shame? Oh, have you ever known—how much for you—Jesus does care? Jesus welcomes anyone—anytime and anywhere. **Verse 3** What kind of God lets an outcast like her—come within His reach? Those at the table—couldn’t believe—the kind of gospel—this Jesus was trying to teach! And what kind of love—would love someone like her—and why would He ever let this kind of woman—come in? **Bridge** As those at the table leaned in—Jesus said to her— “Just because you are lost—carrying all your sin and shame— I still know your name— You are why I came—to set captives free and save the lost— And if it was only for you—I’d still pay the highest cost! **Chorus** Ohhhh—has Jesus ever called your name— Has He ever reached out His hands—to lift away—all your guilt and your shame? Oh, have you ever known—just how much for you—Jesus does care? Jesus welcomes anyone—anytime and anywhere. The woman—because His Grace stepped in— Because His is the only grace—that would go to a cross—and take her place! She fell before Him—on her face— She took down her hair from its place— And there before everyone— She did what had never been done— Once just a sinner—now saved by Grace— Now was the very best time and place— Because her heart did Jesus meet— Taking holy oil as she began to weep—and the oil mixed with her tears—as she began to wash Jesus’ feet!! **Chorus** Ohhhh—has Jesus ever called your name— Has He ever reached out His hands—to lift away—all your guilt and your shame? Oh, have you ever known—just how much for you—Jesus does care? Oh the woman found out—Jesus welcomes anyone—anytime and anywhere—when she washed His feet—and dried them with her hair—- **Tag** Ohhh still today—His amazing grace— Still can save a soul— He still takes in—anyone who knows they have sinned— And just like He did for her—and did for me too— He can make you new— and whole again. And by His amazing grace— He’ll make for us at His table—each and every one—our very own place.

His Amazing Grace

Read: Luke 7:36–50; Romans 5:6–11; Ephesians 2:1–10

Can you imagine walking into a room where you know you're not welcome? The conversations stop. People look away—or worse, they look directly at you with expressions that tell you what they think. They know something about your past, and they've already decided that your past is all there is to know.

Have you ever felt that kind of shame? Maybe nobody has spoken the accusation aloud, but you hear it in your own mind: If they really knew what I've done, they wouldn't want me here. Some people carry that thought for years. They sit in church and sing about grace while quietly wondering whether grace could possibly reach them.

I want you to read Luke 7:36–50. Jesus is dining in the home of a Pharisee named Simon when a woman known in the city as a sinner comes near Him. She weeps, wets His feet with her tears, wipes them with her hair, kisses His feet, and anoints them. Simon sees her reputation. Jesus sees a person who has come to Him.

Notice what happens next. Jesus doesn't pretend sin is harmless. He tells a story about two debtors who have no ability to repay what they owe. Both debts are freely forgiven. Then He exposes how little Simon has understood about love and forgiveness. The woman is not saved by the value of her tears or the cost of her ointment. Jesus tells her, “Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace” (Luke 7:50, KJV).

What a sentence for someone who came carrying shame. Go in peace. Not because everyone in the room has changed their opinion. Not because the past never happened. Peace comes because the Savior has spoken.

Perhaps your struggle isn't a scandal everyone knows about. Maybe it's a private habit, an old betrayal, a secret resentment, or a decision that still keeps you awake at night. You may be trying to make yourself worthy before approaching God. But that's the very burden grace confronts. Ephesians 2 teaches that salvation is God's gift, received through faith, not a reward we earn by becoming impressive enough.

There is an important difference between grace and permission to keep living in sin. The mercy of Christ does not make repentance unnecessary. His mercy makes it possible to come into the light without pretending. We can confess what is true, turn from what is wrong, and trust the One who gave Himself for sinners.

Would you be willing to read Luke 7 today as though you were sitting in that room? Ask yourself whose eyes you've been living under: the eyes of people who remember your worst moment, your own accusing conscience, or the Lord Jesus who knows the truth and offers forgiveness. If you've never trusted Christ, you can turn to Him today. Tell Him honestly that you need His mercy and believe that His death and resurrection are enough.

If you already belong to Him but shame keeps pulling you backward, speak with a mature Christian who can help you walk in the truth of God's grace. You do not need to nurture secrecy to prove you're sorry.

Our desire at UnrelentingJesus is that nobody would mistake the judgment of a room for the heart of the Savior. He knows your name, your need, and the cost of your redemption.

Let's pray. Lord Jesus, some of us have carried shame so long that it feels like part of our identity. Thank You for seeing the whole truth about us and still offering mercy through Your cross. Lead us to genuine repentance, living faith, and the peace of forgiveness. Help us show others the compassion You have shown us. Amen.

We will be praying for you.
