00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:22.280
The story behind the hymns or the
story of the hymn. His grace is

2
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:29.480
greater. His grace is greater if
the burdens increase. Their strength is greater

3
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:34.560
if the test is crueler, if
the struggle is great. Greater is his

4
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:40.880
grace without more are the sorrows,
greater is his peace, his love.

5
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:44.479
His grace doesn' t end.
It doesn' t end a limit.

6
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:50.560
There is no power of the Lord, for from his immense riches in glory

7
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:59.039
his grace abounds, his love abounds. This hymn is a poem dedicated to

8
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:04.000
the mercy of God. Written by
believer Annie Johnson Flint. In the midst

9
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:10.719
of a severe chronic illness. The
hymn exalts and thanks the Lord for his

10
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:19.000
infinite greatness. Author of more than
6, 000 hymns, Annie Johnson Flint

11
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.560
showed the world through her existence,
how God always tests the faith of his

12
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:27.640
followers. And honors them with their
love if they are able to overcome suffering,

13
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:37.319
pain and sadness. Born on the
24th of December of one thousand eight

14
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:41.719
hundred and sixty- six in the
United States, she was a servant of

15
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.280
the Lord who, from his arrival
in the world to the end of his

16
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:49.159
days, suffered more than an earthly
suffering. However, his fidelity to Christ

17
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.680
allowed him to leave an indelible musical
mark in which the song stands out.

18
00:01:53.680 --> 00:02:05.920
His grace is greater than the mercy
of the creator. Annie was the greatest

19
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.680
earthly gift of Eldon and Jim Johnson, a couple of New Jersey believers,

20
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:19.840
who had emigrated to America from the
UK. She lost her mother in a

21
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:23.240
thousand eight hundred sixty- nine and
a couple of years later her father.

22
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:29.039
Then, in the midst of so
much pain, she was adopted, along

23
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.240
with her sister Netty, by a
Christian marriage that gave them all her affection

24
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:38.039
and affection. In the name of
the Most High. Annie Johnson Flint served

25
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:42.759
the eternal father through a prolific creativity
that she used to exalt the Gospel.

26
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.520
Never in the more than forty-
five years he spent tied to a wheelchair,

27
00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:53.120
did he doubt that the creator had
chosen him to fulfill a noble purpose

28
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:59.680
At all times and despite the great
tribulations he went through, he was always

29
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:06.840
able to stress that the will of
the Most High must be fulfilled. Even

30
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:10.319
on September 8th of a thousand nine
hundred and thirty- two, shortly before

31
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:15.439
he left for the meeting with the
almighty, he emphatically affirmed. I have

32
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:20.560
nothing to say. It' s
all right.
